It was REALLY bad propaganda, having a bunch of rich feminists briefly in space and calling it a giant leap for women meanwhile they sidelined the achievements SpaceX does because 'Elon bad'
The fact that the commies of the Soviet Union did better propaganda of a woman in space also shows how bad this flopped.
The real benefit from this flight was to prove that even a bunch of retarded girl boss harpies could not interfere with the trip or do any damage. That is the true success.
Yeah, it was a great "any retard can now go to space with enough money!" is hugely important as a step forward for both tech but also humanity. No longer was space this unapproachable frontier for only the most niche capable humans.
But to say it that way calls these women retards outloud and their ego wouldn't like that, so they had to pretend it was some girlboss shit.
That would honestly be motivating, because I've always wanted to go to space and that makes it achievable for me (not really because of cost, but money can come).
But it was a gaggle of women, so it had to be about "me me me."
The argument could be made that there were different goals in mind between this stunt and the USSR propaganda.
This stunt is an advertisement aimed towards AWFL women, fluffed up by allied media as a progressive achievement. The USSR was appealing to the common man domestically and abroad.
It may not matter if the people not being targeted reject the respective media. Bezos already has a healthy number of allies and dedicated investors that won't waver because of some negative social media reaction.
I think this video sums up my opinion on it.

True. The headlines should read: "several retards go to space: no one dies"

You ever hear that tape of that cosmonaut chick burning up?
Which one? I know the Soviets killed a dog and a guy at least in space, the US has Challenger and another one, there's a bit of a list.
Only SpaceX so far have the record of 'getting people to space and back to earth without turning them into ash' so far..
