Jeff Bezos takes one small step for feminism and social progress, and one giant leap for self-publicity | Sarah Manavis
- Blue Origin, owned by Jeff Bezos, will launch the first all-female commercial flight to space with Katy Perry, Gayle King, Lauren Sánchez, Kerianne Flynn, Aisha Bowe, and Amanda Nguyen aboard.
- The mission is seen as symbolically significant, especially for female empowerment and social progress, with Amanda Nguyen's flight being noted as a symbol of reconciliation between the US and Vietnam.
- The flight will be the first all-female mission into space in over 60 years, but critics view it as a dystopian and PR-driven stunt by Bezos, lacking substantial social impact.
- While the celebrities on board claim the flight will inspire future generations, criticisms argue that the significance is shallow and self-serving for Bezos.
- Bezos has faced backlash for his actions in other business ventures, such as Amazon's support for Trump and changes at the Washington Post, leading to concerns about true commitment to feminism and social progress.
- The celebrity space missions, including Bezos's, are criticized for being more about personal gain and competition in the tech industry rather than true progress or benevolence.
- Despite the attention and star-studded nature of these space missions, they are viewed as self-serving endeavors that lack meaningful impact on social progress or the world.
- Critics argue that these celebrity flights are part of a new, superficial space race driven by personal interests rather than genuine advancements benefiting society.
- While celebrities may enjoy personal and professional benefits from such flights, the overall impact is questioned, with comparisons to wish fulfilment for a billionaire's personal hobby.
- The trend of high-profile and gimmicky celebrity space flights is expected to continue, serving as a platform for companies like Blue Origin to enhance their image, albeit without substantial contributions to social progress or meaningful advancements.
