OK so it was a 10 minute flight. Pretty cool. Like the weather balloons with a gopro attached to them. You get on the edge of the atmosphere and can clearly see the curvature of the earth. The bible does not say the earth is flat and it isn't. Let's move past the mental illness and get healthy. Onward and upward.
The Media is hyping "The 1st All Female Crew". Crew? They were passengers.
ReplyDeleteNo, the media is all over this. "First all female flight was a Russian Cosmonaut in 1963" then "first all female flight was a dog", they're having some fun with it. Apparently they did not achieve orbital velocity and did not orbit the earth even once. Woke definitions are not flying unchallenged anymore''. Flying, get it? I'll be in the lounge all weekend folks.
ReplyDeleteNobody claimed they orbited. They went up, down and that's it. Just high enough to experience weightlessness. NASA would take astronauts up in high altitude planes to experience that.
DeleteThe bottom line is everyone saw the rocket lift off and go straight up. It started off slow but for something that large to keep going straight up without arching means it had to have been going very fast. I don't know if they pulled any Gs but the trip would have been physically demanding.
But what is mentally ill is the women news anchors calling these women 'astronauts'. It takes 10 years to achieve that status, these baboons had 2 days training.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't get all stressed out about it. It was a lot of money and emissions for 10 minutes but it was a hell of a ride. I don't even like Playland.
