Blue Origin resumes tourist trips to space

Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin LLC resumed sending tourists to space on Sunday, launching six private passengers on a short flight more than 97km above the Earth.

The passengers included Ed Dwight, a former Air Force captain who was selected as the first Black astronaut candidate in 1961 but never got to fly to space with NASA.
 

'Wheeeeee I'm An Astronaut!' Exclaims Katy Perry During Ride On Disneyland Astro Orbiter - The Babylon Bee​

Singer and TV personality Katy Perry inspired dozens Thursday after declaring she was an astronaut following a brief ride on Disneyland's Astro Orbiter.

"Wheeeeee! I'm an astronaut!" she said while riding the thrilling Tomorrowland attraction. "Taking up spaaaace! I really feel in touch with the divine feminine now."

Perry described the ride as deeply supernatural, saying that it spun her around and around to the point that she felt "all the G's."

She is now a bona fide astronaut, she says, because she got to pilot the spacecraft herself. "I can make it go up and down! Wheeeeee!"

Park guests who witnessed the historical moment say they will forever remember Katy Perry's ability to sit there and ride the attraction.

"She's a trailblazer," said one mother of three. "It makes me feel like I can be an astro orbiter too."

At publishing time, Katy Perry was seen riding the Matterhorn Bobsleds, where she proclaimed, "I'm a Sherpa! Wheeeeeeee!"

Looks like the bevy of socialites & influencers on the Blue Origin tourist ride to 'space' are in fact Astro-NOUGHTS... 🤡 🚀

The U.S. commercial space industry is an inspiring project which showcases American ingenuity and exceptionalism. But the last FAA guidelines under the Commercial Space Astronaut Wings Program were clear: Crewmembers who travel into space must have “demonstrated activities during flight that were essential to public safety, or contributed to human space flight safety.”

The crew who flew to space this week on an automated flight by Blue Origin were brave and glam, but you cannot identify as an astronaut. They do not meet the FAA astronaut criteria.

well they did fly Apes to space
and returned them to Earth.

its automated anyway, like flying a sack of Potatoes
probably ou boet with his castle can also be the next "spaceflight participant"

if you got the cash, or a really rich sugar momma, you too can fly to space and say you got to be weightless for 4 min.
either that or a ride on the vomit comet.

well they didnt make Ham the Astro chimp a celebrity afterwards,
en.wikipedia.org

Ham (chimpanzee) - Wikipedia

just a Monkey that went on an adventure to prove the capsules life support system worked,
for the REAL astronauts afterwards.

wonder what they accomplished here? that Fake boobs / Botox / Lip gloss and false eyelashes survive space?
maybe that they didn't break a nail and crash the capsule?

:ROFL::ROFL:
 
They said this flight was automated, does that mean if there's a malfunction on board there's no ability for a pilot onboard to take over the controls?

they train them on how to cry and wail into the radio for help, completely automated, no pilot on board, like the aforementioned Monkey.

especially if they reenter earth in China by accident, or the Free State or somewhere less than friendly to the US.

total publicity stunt, when space X/Virgin galactic is grabbing all the headlines
Amazon is like #metoo
 
Jeff Bezos whips out his 'Wench Wrench' to free the trapped astro-naughts from their tourist transport... AFTER they had already pre-emptively opened the door FROM THE INSIDE... 🤡 🚀
Blue Origin door opening goes viral after the door was opened from the inside before being closed so Jeff Bezos could wrench it open on camera.
