Rich people... can't afford to pay taxes, but can afford to build their own rockets and go for rocket rides... and the average American is having trouble putting food on the family table... America, you've got to straighten out your priorities.

[kingpinsmith]

The irony of the shape of the rocket and the amount of botox taking this ride.

[matthewmarone]

The equivalent of a rich persons amusement park at this point.

[neithanm]

Can you imagine getting off a plane, being told "YOU'RE NOW OFFICIALLY AN AIRLINE PILOT!" and believe it?

[cbizz]

America is falling apart and some rich women take a space ride. Pretty disgusting actually.

[freudianslip]

Damn, they didn’t even interview the astronauts. That’s messed up. The celebrities stole their shine.

[rocketsurgeon]

6 women were passengers on a flight? Way to break barriers, ladies! 😂

[kimsold]

Don’t we have more important things to worry about than putting more pollution in the atmosphere for someone famous to gloat? Geez. We are NOT impressed

[lostree]

The moment when space flight became a bunch of bullshit for ferrying rich people around so they can take selfies.

Fucking hell man, it used to be awe inspiring. Now it's eye-rolling.

[ThOtherSid]

FYI, an astronaut is a person who is trained to travel and work in space. Astronauts operate spacecraft, conduct experiments, repair equipment, and explore environments beyond Earth’s atmosphere.

[canadianbeef]

What a disgusting display of absolute privilege and wealth.

[pantster]

Do we call passengers on a plane “crew”?

[keithlillis]

Super connected to love! Give me a break. That statement has to be in the top 10 of the pop star cringe charts.

[jmolvin]

We're in a recession, prices of everything are high, people are struggling, but good for you guys wasting resources like this.

[unweptant]

What a huge waste of just everything. So pointless

[gb]

This makes women look silly and overshadows actual and real female astronauts and scientists. Everyone is laughing at this.

[loriloo]

This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen.

[mattfisher]

Great optics so rich they are spending money to go into space while average Americans struggle to make ends meet....awesome 🤦‍♂️

[shmatapro]

There's something obscene about the excess of this whole thing.

The Blue Origin rocket is very phallic
