ABY BUT IN ALLCAPS

With all the (rightful!) vitriol surrounding the Space Flight today, please don't let the conversation ignore Amanda Nguyen (because the media certainly has..).

Ms Nguyen went to Harvard and interned at Nasa twice. She conducted research on exoplanets for the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics.

While she was a student at Harvard and interning with Nasa in 2013, she was raped. This paused her dream of becoming an astronaut and experiencing space travel. As a result of her strength and compassion in response to that attack, Ms Nguyen decided to leave Nasa and engage in activism work that challenged the narrative around victim-survivors, and ultimately she created Rise - a non-profit organisation which aims to protect the civil rights of sexual assault victims and rape survivors.

In 2016, the Sexual Assault Survivors' Rights Act passed through the Senate and the House of Reps, and was signed into law by Obama. The law protects, among other rights, the right to have the evidence of a rape kit preserved without charge for the duration of the statute of limitations, and the right to be notified before the destruction of evidence held in your case so you can apply for it to be kept and archived.

Amanda Nguyen is a brilliant and amazing person who was able to experience a tiny edge of a dream she had given up on. Please be gentle with her story when (rightfully) protesting some of the other women involved.

"All-women/all-female astronauts" Yay! But remember we still have these issues to deal with: reproductive rights, gender-based pay inequality, gender-based violence, fossil fuel CO2 emissions, etc.

“You say that you care about Mother Earth, and it’s about Mother Earth, and you’re going up in a spaceship that is built and paid for by a company that’s single-handedly destroying the planet.. Look at the state of the world and think about how many resources went into putting these women into space. For what?”-Emily Ratajkowski #BlueOrigin theguardian.com/culture/2025/a

"The Trump administration, for its part, just awarded Blue Origin a contract worth more than $2bn."; "But mostly, they seemed interested in talking about their makeup and hair."

Die Luftleere im Kopf dieser Imperialisten-Weibchen ist im #Weltall sicher von Vorteil.

"Planet Earth got to spend 11 blissful minutes without Katy Perry

This was worth all the CO2 emissions"

" Perry was accompanied by several rich and bored women, including someone who has shagged Jeff Bezos."

Tuckers Nuts Resist! 🇺🇦 

"Asked by People (Magazine) about overall criticism to the mission during a post-flight press conference, (Gayle) King said that in her eyes, “anybody that’s criticizing it doesn’t really understand what is happening here.”
Gayle is correct. Eye don't understand what is happening here other than using a Bezos rocket for a bonfire of vanities.
