So an 11 minute, remote controlled rocket launch featuring an all female "crew" that included a skank singer, two journalists and Jeff Bozos' future trophy wife is a big historic moment for women.

I feel bad for the two legit scientists on board who no doubt did any of the real work and had to listen to the others blather on for 11 minutes. This was nothing more than a space tourism trip that happened to feature all female passengers.

Apart from the estrogen-infused hen session (I watched live on C-SPAN 2), I'm still amazed by the perfect landing of the booster rocket - it's right out of 1950s science fiction!

So an 11 minute, remote controlled rocket launch featuring ... two journalists ...

Make that one journalist. Gayle King would be doing the weekend weather in Fargo if she wasn't Oprah's best friend. All kidding aside.

Despite the media they weren't astronauts nor a crew. They were passengers in a "driverless car"

I was being overly generous, but yes I 100% agree.

This is nothing compared to what the late, great Wink Martindale was doing 72 years ago:
