I am disappointed at the visceral negative reaction at the all-female crew of the Blue Origin NS-31 flight.
Granted not all of them are scientists or astronauts, but should we not admire or encourage female non-scientists? Granted some of them are rich good-looking celebrities, but they have a large young following. What's the harm if they spread some joy and science among the youth?

Agreed. Saving space outrage for the cancellation of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope
Fair, but I’m just as negative regarding a crew of all male tech-bro “astronauts” going to “space”.
Meanwhile, there are plenty of awesome female role models who are currently being fired and erased from NASA and other agencies. Let’s do photoshoots and bio-blurbs about them instead. Sexy sci-fi uniforms and penis-rockets strictly optional.
