If I ever get a few £millions spare I must remember not to post on GN how I intend to spend my money.

The views from the capsule have only been seen by a limited few, if only I was younger, richer and braver I would be there in a shot.

Why their wealth, and why reference to a harem

Obscenely wealthy , when does having wealth become obscene ?

I'm quite curious why having wealth is obscene.

The Ego has Landed

Thanks to Nicky Campbell radio 5, this morning.
It’s not as good as FGT’s Telegraph cartoon but it made me smile

I don't care what she does with her money, she just irritated me with all the talk about love and other things, just pretentious and over the top.

All these ladies have done something that I , frankly, would not have had and would not have the guts to do , so well done girls.
On the other hand if I had had to listen to one more minute of the b***** coming out of Katy Perry's mouth , I would have pulled my own head off.
Does she care ? I doubt it; Didn't she bag Orlando Bloom ??

“I’ve always been interested in astrophysics and interested in astronomy and astrology and the stars,” (Katy Perry) told the Associated Press.

I wonder if Katy feels the journey has improved her understanding of astrology?

Never heard her, a group of women why speak of a harem

Allsorts Tue 15-Apr-25 17:05:23

She or any of the other passengers are not astronauts, they didn't go high enough, they were controlled from the ground and they wouldn't know one control from the other. they just had a nice ride in a tailored jump suit after having their make up and har done. Too much money and imagination all of them.

😂😂😂
She confirmed she will be writing a song about the experience. Of course.

The Kardashians are considering going now.

I'd rather hear the views of the scientist on board.

One, Aisha Bowe, is a former 'rocket scientist' and an advocate for girls to take STEM subjects. I'd like to hear more from her.

When she returned to earth all she was talking about was love; I mean what was that about? I think it’s a pity that she was given so much coverage when the other women she was with had a scientific background. My first thought though was that I try so hard to keep my carbon footprint as low as possible and yet they’d used up more in 11 minutes than I will use in a lifetime.

shock I didn't realise that it was that much Maybee

If I ever get to take another long-haul flight, I'll just think of KP and sing 'A Wonderful World' to the other passengers.
Followed by It's Written in the Stars 🌠

That should offset my carbon footprint (or get me confined to my seat).

All their fake hair and extensions floating around their heads , why didn't they just tie it back .

Marg75 Tue 15-Apr-25 19:11:24

Oh dear were none of you young once? I love young women's long hair these days, I had to fight my Mum all the way when she wanted me to have a perm like her! I love the dress and boots look as well. I wouldn't want to go back, I believe that we all belong in the age we were born in but it doesn't stop me envying them their freedom.

The addition of Katy Perry turned this event into a circus.
Single-handedly Ms Perry managed to undermine the wonderful work real female astrophysicists the world over!
The plastered-on make-up didn't help either, together with the silly daisy twiddling stunt. Ridiculous. 🤔

"Ms Perry could have just put a helmet on".
Oh no she couldn't do that it would mess-up her fake hair and make-up.
A ridiculous stunt. 🙄

Ilovedogs22 Tue 15-Apr-25 19:57:58

Opps sorry
I misquoted you.
I'm a twit 😶

woodenspoon Tue 15-Apr-25 20:10:28

A shame so much was focussed on Katy Perry. I’m sure Lauren Sanchez wouldn’t have liked that. However, despite all this if it shows young girls that they too could do something similar, one day, then all power to them.

Marg75 Tue 15-Apr-25 21:07:39

There's some real sour grapes here.

Yes, we're all envy because we can't afford to go.

I'll just listen to Rocket Man instead 😁

Before yesterday 105 women had been to space. Not a huge number compared to male astronauts (12% of astronauts apparently). All with a job to do.

I don’t understand why yesterday’s space tourists are being talked about as though they are trail blazers.

For a very good reason!!
Marg75.
We want women who do brilliant things that we can relate to.
Not some drippy, pop singer who can't actually sing!, with her flipping stupid hair & a ruddy, limp daisy!!!
God give me strength!.! 😶

Astronaut!!!
My *rse! 😶
