It wasn’t the trip itself thats particularly viewed as problematic, it was the atrociously patronizing marketing surrounding it and that Katy Perry is just a generally vile person. Nobody is begrudging Amanda Nguyen or Aisha Bowe being along on this trip, they’ve dedicated their lives to the celebration of science and supporting the work of legitimate astronauts (and I suppose arguably so has Shatner, though he’s not exactly a man of flawless character)
William Shatner was very much dumped on. Not by us, but by Mister Proper himself.
Shatner: “It was such a humbling experience, I just…”
Bezos:"Shut up man. Just pop some champagne and act like you’re celebrating with these cheap hookers I hired for you. "
Hooker:“WOOoOooOo!!!”
I don’t understand the Katy Perry hate. William Shatner took the same space trip and wasn’t dumped on.
Uuuuh
Wow!
Wow!
Wow!
Okay.

At least Shatner’s a professional fake astronaut?
