      That’s stupid though. Why the fuck does some weird nerds try to gatekeep the title “astronaut”? Katy Perry’s role on the flight was about equal to Yuri Gagarin in terms of controlling the ship.

      Anyways, it’s just a publicity stunt by the ultra rich marketing it as feminist achievement, that’s what you should be shitting on

        in 2004, a new category of astronaut was created: the commercial astronaut.

        Let’s not mix the people who saw colleagues die and put their own lives on the line for science with the human billboard receiving money to advertise a rich fuck’s commercial vanity project that’s already been deemed safe (in no small parts due to it being tested by actual astronauts beforehand).
