Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin flop is bigger than Katy Perry | Projectile dysfunction.


It wasn’t just the stale “you go girl” feminism that made this seem so silly.

( Dennis Tito paid $20 million to spend several days aboard the ISS in 2001, by the way, so Blue Origin’s trip seems much less cool than the one from more than 20 years ago.) But the you-go-girl rhetoric feels odd next to the government’s antiwoman stance; actual astronauts and other women in leadership are literally being erased from NASA ’s history. Amazon is also paying $40 million for the privilege of a documentary about Melania Trump, helmed by Brett Ratner, who’s been accused of sexual misconduct and rape.
