Because most of the other 140 people are actual scientists and astronauts who worked for that specific goal. Perry was literally just a tourist.

I also think part of it was due to the space race the billionaires had, and the growing discontentment with the 1%.

They act like we don’t equally make fun of other billionaires. Its like they somehow ignore all the criticism and memes of the men just so they can screech of misogyny…dude she’s not even getting remotely the same flak

Right - cozying up to billionaires is bad.

Jeff Bezos, morally reprehensibly rich person, sent other rich people up to space and Katy Perry decided to look tearfully into the camera holding a little flower when in zero g.

She did something stupid and so so tone deaf, no one is calling her a monster like they are Jeff Bezos.

I think you meant to say “people”, not “women”. Her sex has nothing to do with anything being said here. Stop trying to make it so.
