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.

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

“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?

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 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.

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

Obscenely wealthy , when does having wealth become obscene ?

I'm quite curious why having wealth is obscene.

Anniebach Tue 15-Apr-25 12:46:56

Why their wealth, and why reference to a harem

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.

Omg, they saw the moon! The moon! Get that folks, all that way in a penis-shaped object to see the MOON!

Did anyone else see the video of Bezos falling into a hole at the landing site? Very funny!

The shape of the rocket New Shepherd Rocket is for sensible reasons.

The bulbous capsule at the top is for humans, and the larger top increases stability on decent.

I assume they paid - their money, their voyage.

I hadn't heard of these women, but I read about them. Interesting group.

Aisha Bowe, a former NASA rocket scientist, CEO of engineering firm STEMBoard and founder of LINGO, which teaches students technology skills.

Amanda Nguyen, a prominent civil rights activist and bioastronautics research scientist who worked on the last NASA space shuttle mission, STS-135, and the U.S. space agency's exoplanet-hunting Kepler space telescope.

Gayle King, a journalist and television personality best known as a co-host of "CBS Mornings."

Katy Perry, a pop music artist and former host of "American Idol."

Kerianne Flynn, a film producer known for her contributions to "This Changes Everything," a 2018 documentary about sexism in Hollywood.

Lauren Sánchez, an Emmy Award-winning journalist who is the fiancée of Amazon's Bezos.

I bet Ann Summers will have battery powered blue “rockets” based on the rather obvious design of the ladies’ spacecraft!

Don’t be silly. Katy Perry is worth $350 million
That’s pocket money to Bill Gates.

Anniebach Tue 15-Apr-25 11:25:08

I didn’t know who Katy Perry was but such criticism!

GrannyGravy13 Tue 15-Apr-25 11:23:13

Ladyleftfieldlover a Quick Look online shows how much Katy Perry supports charities, AIDS, UNICEF and several others.

Many rich people support and donate to charities without publicising it.

Katy Perry is as wealthy as Bill Gates

Are you sure about that?

Parsley3 Tue 15-Apr-25 11:19:49

With space rocket launches becoming more frequent there must be some impact on the health of our planet.

Maybe when extremely rich people don’t use at least some of it for ‘good’, like Bill Gates and his endeavours to fund a vaccine for malaria.

They're helping to get more women interested in space things and into the training programs, so that's a good thing.

So I'm imagining, then, that women have been training as astronauts and going into space for decades. One of the first people in space in the 1960s was a woman... There was a woman stranded in space on the Space Station rather recently...

The extreme interest of the obscenely wealthy in space is driven by the hope that when they have destroyed out planet they can take refuge on another one. And of course, there is always the possibility of extracting more wealth, in the form of rare minerals, as they become in sort supply on Earth, from other planets.

I like Katie Perry, she's a very feisty young woman, like I was many, many moons ago smile
