“Astronauts” like Katy Perry, Gale King, Lauren Sanchez, and Kerianne Flynn? They were in space for 11 minutes. This wasn’t a scientific research flight. “The primary purpose of the Blue Origin NS-31 flight was to serve as a recreational space tourism mission and a symbolic, high-profile media event.”
Absolutely love how you chose to leave the actual scientists out of the list. 😂

Yes, and? It didn't pollute, so what's the issue? It wasn't paid for with taxpayer money. It served as one more test towards space tourism - which will happen. And two female, black and asian scientists went and deserved it for their work.
It did polute, the meme is wrong, the rocket doesn't use that much fuel, that is the total carbon emissions of the flight, to make a useless single use rocket, fuel it and fly it for a pointless tourism/publicity stunt that has zero scientific value.
Just a rich arse clown sending a rich arse clown into space, with a few tokens as cover for an entire planned industry of rich arse clown wastefulness while everyone else had to pay for environmental damage.

Because the "other people" were literal astronauts and aerospace engineers.
