That was the original point, and yes I know you want to argue the toss, as you do with most things anyone else says.
It was kind of funny to watch Katy Perry and Co fly off into space in what appeared to be a giant dildo.
For sure, it must have been an exciting adventure, but when they landed and came out the capsule, they were whooping and hollering and kissing the ground as if they had just come back from a hen night on Mars instead of just being up there for 10 minutes - I was half expecting a couple of male strippers to come out as well.
Some bloke on the radio said that to make up the carbon footprint that each woman used, a person would have to turn off everything in their house for 35 years LoL
So much for KP singing It's a Wondeful World while she was up there.

And the "appeal to authority" fallacy can be powerful in some folks.
I can assure you it has zero impact on me..
So, when I present information from someone, it's not because I support them based on their position.
For example, Peter Attia has the credentials to be considered an expert, regardless of what position he holds anywhere..

“Plus-size traveller says she was 'discriminated against' at airport after worker 'refused to push her wheelchair because she was too heavy'
Jaelynn, who is reportedly a 6XL (UK size 24), accused an airport worker of refusing to push her in a wheelchair after getting off the plane because of her weight.
In her latest video, the content creator claimed that SeaTac Airport 'violates our rights' and claimed that there were other 'fat travelers' who had similar experiences. In her original video detailing her complaint against SeaTac Airport, Jaelynn - who can walk - said she always requests wheelchair assistance when flying.
However, during this trip, she claimed that the employee assigned to help assist her from the entry of the jet bridge started to walk away when she realised she would be assisting Jaelynn instead of one of the smaller passengers.
Jaelynn claimed the employee also made comments about her size and 'blatantly ignored' her pleas for the wheelchair.
'I was then forced to walk up one of the longest jet bridges I've encountered and she didn't stop,' the influencer wrote on her TikTok video.”
Tired of hearing about these entitled morbidly obese people who seem to think that their inability to put the fork down should be accommodated by everyone wherever they go. Buy two or three tickets if you want to spread your fat about; pay for a support worker if you need pushing in a wheelchair due to your obesity.
TLDR: Can walk, won’t walk. Can pay, won’t pay.
edit: she look a UK size 24 to anyone?

"Reboot of disaster-hit Fyre Festival postponed, US media reports"
The scheduled dates and location of Fyre Festival 2 have been thrown into doubt, according to US media reports.
The reboot of the 2017 Fyre Festival - which made international headlines, sparked a hit Netflix documentary and resulted in organiser Billy McFarland going to jail for fraud - was due to take place in Mexico from 30 May to 2 June.
McFarland's second attempt to stage the event was announced not long after he was released from prison, with ticket prices ranging from $1,400 (£1,058) to $1.1m (£831,534). But now the organisers are reportedly looking for a new location for the festival, with the scheduled dates uncertain." https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c62jzk1p49wo
I wouldn't trust this bloke selling me a second-hand car. After the notoriety of the Netflix documentary who in hell would trust this bloke? Up to £831.534 a ticket? A fool and his money and all that, and I know God loves a trier, but come on...

I'm not sure what the champ got out of it though - I thought she might have run alongside them and let them beat her, or hold hands and dead heat or something. Running flat out and absolutely pulverising them is kind of funny though.
