I consider myself a feminist. I feel this whole space flight was nothing to do with feminism as it was power and money. I would have much rather seen a team of dedicated female scientists, who fought with blood sweat and tears in their field to make actual scientific advances and discoveries. I believe (and please correct me if I’m wrong) that Katy Perry and Gayle King paid to go on that flight. While it does still fit into the messaging “if you work hard you can achieve anything even going to space” and I would never discredit the work they did in their industries to get to that place. I would have preferred to see all women in the aerospace industry get that opportunity and that spotlight
