Space Tourism Isn’t Progress. It’s Propaganda.

This week, the richest man on Earth funded what was marketed as “a historic moment for women”: a crew of female celebrities and influencers launched into space aboard a penis-shaped rocket for eleven glorious minutes. Touted as “women making space,” the stunt was instantly crowned feminist progress by mainstream media — a hollow slogan that means absolutely nothing.

The entire journey cost $28 million — a sum that could radically transform the lives of thousands of women in the United States.
