Ignoring the fact that these rich tourists aren't going to space and aren't real crew members...

That previous female crewed space mission being referenced was of course the Soviets who easily dominated the space race technologically and in social representation.
A crew of six women, including pop star Katy Perry and Jeff Bezos's fiancé Lauren Sanchez, is set to blast off today on an 11-minute Blue Origin flight.

It marks the first all-female space mission in 60 years — hailed as a breakthrough for gender equality in space tourism.

My colleagues at Zenimax QA have voted to authorize a strike. No date on if/when it'll happen.

Good for them! They have the full support of everyone at Zenimax. As the first team to unionize they paved the way for the rest of us and we support them 1,000%
