The first all female crew to ride in Blue Origin
Blue Origin is a very expensive roller-coaster ride that for some reason deserves publicity.
I'm more surprised that a certain crowd weren't complaining more loudly about no white males being on board and in charge.

the design isn't subtle at all frankly. Also they are not astronauts or crew they are high paying passengers only since the ship is automated. Joy ride for the rich and narcissistic
Couldn't say it better myself.
People that go on it are not astronauts. they are not flying it, entering orbit or doing anything or scientific value. They are just rich tourists looking to LARP at being astronauts for a few minutes.
You'd think Bezos would love any and all publicity for his rockets but you can't even find a decent model kit of Blue Origin, not that I want a penis rocket on my shelf but just saying.

It was a pleasure trip no different to the Titan Sub and doesn't seem to have generated anything positive.
While I'm sure you didn't mean it as such, here in the US the word "twat" is often used in reference to the female organ. Given that the most recent Blue Origin flight had all female passengers, you might wish to edit your post.
Robert Browning used the word in his 1841 poem "Pippa Passes":
Browning probably mistakenly thought with word was cognate with a "wimple". It's classed as only slightly vulgar in the UK - unlike the "see you next Tuesday" word - as it has lost most of its association with the vulva. It's perhaps on the same level as "fanny", "minge", "box", "slit" or "slot". Compare, for example, "cock", "wang", "knob", "dick" and "prick", which are considered mild epithets here.
There are two villages in Scotland called "Twatt".
How about "twonk"? I'm sure someone, somewhere will be offended. It originally meant a lower-class foreigner.
If the rich want to enjoy pointless joyrides into space, who cares? Perry et al. were hardly going to have time to perform experiments in microgravity.

Reading that in the style of Terry Jones was a joy and highly recommended!
If that money somehow makes it into real science then all the better.
I'm British.
On the contrary—I am very happy an all female mission flew—to encourage young girls who look up to them to get into STEM fields.
I am, however, miffed that Olivia Munn—of all people-would throw shade.
Her statements actually sounded like what you would expect from Archie Bunker.
I know it is easy to dismiss the flight as a stunt—but travel can’t broaden the mind if there is no travel. One cannot provide an overview effect if there is no overview.
I dare say more money has been spent on weddings in the history of humanity than what was spent that day.
I think some tech-bros have slimed all things space to the point that we need young ladies interested in flight as a counter.

It's of course not entirely nice but it isn't seen as a heavy insult and in Britsh and irish English it's used to call out obnoxious/stupid people of both genders so I'll allow it, of course that's not an invite to use worse...
Riding straight up and straight down again on a giant automated dildo isn't travel in any meaningful sense.
I believe they could see the Moon. Woo! What a scientific achievement!
Katy Perry stated she uses astrology to GPS what's coming next, so I guess STEM isn't for her.
What they did had nothing to do with STEM. They didn't do anything but take a very expensive 11 minute passenger ride.
What they did had no more to do with stem than a plane or car ride as a passenger.
I am doing nothing for STEM when I travel in a plane.
It defiantly want flight as none of them flew Bezos's space dildo. It was automated. They are no more astronauts than I am a aeroplane pilot.
On the other hand you have Valentina Tereshkova, Sally Ride and the thousands of behind the scenes women scientists and engineers that have contributed to aerospace engineering and science who getting ignored for this stunt. It was the risk, genius and sacrifices of these women that allowed a bunch of rich gits to play space tourists.
