Let us know in the comments.<\/p>\n \n\tStefanie Tanaka:<\/p>\n \n\tIf anyone out there has $150,000, then you can go to space too.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tTetris Kelly:<\/p>\n \n\tAll right, so Billboard squad, five ladies went to space, but everybody seems to just be mad at Katy Perry. Are we mad? What\u2019s going on?<\/p>\n \n\tJerah Milligan:<\/p>\n \n\tI don\u2019t care.<\/p>\n \n\tStefanie Tanaka:<\/p>\n \n\tI can understand why people are mad. I don\u2019t know if I feel that strongly about it.<\/p>\n \n\tTetris Kelly:<\/p>\n \n\tWhy? What are people upset about?<\/p>\n \n\tStefanie Tanaka:<\/p>\n \n\tI mean, a lot of people, you know, times are tough right now. It doesn\u2019t really like look super inspiring to see, like, super rich people just going into space.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tCiara Zimring:<\/p>\n \n\tIt\u2019s not giving what they think it\u2019s giving. They think it\u2019s giving inspiring, sending a bunch of women to space, but it\u2019s giving more sending a bunch of rich people in space, as opposed to actual female astronauts that should be sent up.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tStefanie Tanaka:<\/p>\n \n\tYeah, yeah.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tCiara Zimring:<\/p>\n \n\tThat would give more.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tStefanie Tanaka:<\/p>\n \n\tIt\u2019s like, it\u2019s cool for, like, the aesthetics of it, like to see a group of women, women of color, going into space. Like, it looks good as a photo-<\/p>\n \n\tJerah Milligan:<\/p>\n \n\tAs a photo.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tStefanie Tanaka:<\/p>\n \n\tBut it\u2019s like, this was all funded by Jeff Bezos. They wouldn\u2019t be going up there without him. If this is Elon Musk, people would be reacting the same way. All these billionaires are obsessed with going to space because they\u2019re gonna leave this planet completely f\u2014ed<\/p>\n \n\tTetris Kelly:<\/p>\n \n\tStefanie\u2019s mad.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tStefanie Tanaka:<\/p>\n \n\tThey\u2019re going to go up there the minute this planet goes to hell because of climate change.<\/p>\n \n\tTetris Kelly:<\/p>\n \n\tI mean, and I think the funny part to me is that you have, like, this inspirational moment, but then I feel like the whole time I watched Gayle be a part of this, she was looking scared. She didn\u2019t even want to go. And she\u2019s like, why am I here? How did I get on this spacecraft?<\/p>\n
