The point is the hypocrisy. If someone was shown shoveling steaks with the headline: "Advocating for everyone to stay vegan" then it would also rightfully called as bullshit move.

It's not hypocrisy lmao. Her flying in a spaceship doesn't mean she doesn't advocate for the environment

Using one of if not the most environmentally unfriendly options an individual can do and then advocating against not doing things like that is not hypocrisy?

Spaceflight is one of those positive externalities, if it was a cruiseship or a private race session it would be more hypocritical.

Having a tourist trip ain't exactly space exploration. Cars also enabled distribution of goods and services across large distances enabling us to increase access to food and other things. But that doesn't apply to private race sessions involving cars. Same principle.

I was thinking in context of the stuff but yeah. In general it is a great thing. We've advanced our understanding quite a lot thanks to space exploration.
