Money talks eh. What a load of bollocks. Bunch of millionaires in tight suits going on a ten minute mission with rhe girlfriend of a dodgy billionaire. Girl power my arse.

Perhaps I should have typed that in sarcasm font.

I knew what you meant, I was agreeing with you.

I'm sorry, I wanted to take it seriously, but...

Penis.

Meanwhile Sunita Williams just spent 9 months in space and surprisingly didnt look hot and sexy when she returned. Must not be the right kind of astronaut.

True professionalism. An inspiration.

My thoughts exactly lobelia,I could see what you were getting at👍

It certainly looked like a load of bollocks, yes.

It did not. No bollocks were visible.

It looked like an entirely bollock-less penis.

They thought they saw the curvature of the earth very briefly, but it was Lauren's lips in silhouette against one of the viewing windows.

She is exactly the right kind of astronaut. The ones today are not.

They didn't go into orbit. Or space even. Not really. They weren't high enough. It's a bit of an extreme plane ride really. It was the same when Bezos went up.

Maybe I'd been avoiding it too much - hadn't realised that.

It certainly looked like a load of bollocks, yes.

However one of the women is a rocket scientist, so perhaps her presence was just about justified.

I've been trying to avoid it but it's quite difficult. Just feeling incredibly embarrassed by it. If I were a genuine female astronaut with scientific or piloting experience I'd be livid. Pictures of then in special slim look space suits with lip gloss so they can burn a shit ton of fuel to no purpose whatever. God.
