I am Disgusted by Blue Origin’s All-Female Crew Joy Ride

Leave a comment

The broadcast and cable news networks extended saturation coverage to the Blue Origin all female flight crew of pop star Katy Perry, Oprah Winfrey’s BFF Gayle King, Jeff Bezos’ fiancé Lauren Sanchez, social entrepreneur Amanda Nguyen, film producer Kerianne Flynn, and honest to goodness rocket scientist Aisha Bowe. The inclusion of Bowe did not give any legitimacy to this 11-minute fantasy flight, they might as well have sent six Hooter girls to space.

Blue Origin proudly declared that the celebrity crew had officially become astronauts. However, according to rules issued by the FAA, Perry and her fellow passengers are not really astronauts at all. They are technically classified as “space travelers,” in fact they are just glorified space cadets.

This was not an example of female empowerment, but another glaring example of our obsession with celebrity culture. It appears that most of the preparation for this joy ride was spent lathering on the make-up.

The millions wasted on this made-for-TV event should have been used to pay for university scholarships for dozens of financially needy women.

Katy Perry melodramatically kissed the ground after returning from her flight. Really? Anybody who thinks this circus deserved saturation media coverage can kiss my ass.

Jeff Bezos Blasts into Space on a Dick-Shaped Rocket

Jeff Bezos blasted into the edge of space on his rocket company’s first flight with people on board, becoming the second billionaire in just over a week to fly in his own spacecraft.

The Amazon founder was accompanied by his brother, an 18-year-old from the Netherlands whose daddy paid almost $30 million for the seat and Wally Funk (the only crew member worthy enough to be mentioned by name) an 82-year-old female aviator, astronaut and Goodwill Ambassador.

“Best day ever!” exclaimed Bezos when his capsule touched down after the 10-minute vanity flight. It may have been the best day ever for the gazillionaire and his lucky passengers, but I was put off by all the attention lavished on a filthy rich man playing at being an astronaut.

If a 10-minute flight onboard a spacecraft that briefly (for a couple of minutes) touched the edge of space entitles you to be called an astronaut, then the maintenance guy who cleans the rocket deserves to be called a rocket scientist.

The enduring image of Bezos’ vanity enterprise won’t be his out-of-this-world smile but the 60-foot-tall phallus-shaped rocket. What an appropriate shape for the world’s richest man’s spacecraft, after all he’s just trying to prove how manly he is by flying into space.

Jeff Bezos Walks His Robotic Dog! The Singularity Is Right Around the Corner!

“Jeff Bezos kicked off Amazons annual robotics conference with a scene straight out of a science-fiction movie.

Amazon began its annual invite-only MARS conference on Monday. The conference is dedicated to machine learning, home automation, robotics and space exploration.

Bezos posted a photo on Twitter posing with the dog-like Boston Dynamics robot, and wrote, “Taking my new dog for a walk at the #MARS2018 conference.”

The robot, named SpotMini, has become popular on the internet after unsettling videos of it learning how to open doors went viral on YouTube. Some viewers tweeted their fear that the robot would end all humans.”

There is nothing more heartwarming than watching a man walking his dog. A man and his canine companion walking in quiet tandem speaks volumes about the innate goodness of life.

The photograph of Bezos walking with his robot dog is horrifying, it`s an omen of humankind`s eventual enslavement to artificial intelligence.

Bezos posted this fear-inducing image on Twitter, this misanthrope takes pleasure in the rise of the machines.

Bezos` robotic dog has learned how to open doors, soon SpotMini Version II will lock you out of your home, consigning you to the doghouse.

I certainly don`t advocate violence against anyone, but I must confess that I fantasize about going low-tech on Bezos and flattening him and his steel hound from hell with a bulldozer.
