Amanda Nguyen’s story is so sad too. The way the Blue Origin PR piece tries to spin it just makes it worse, IMO.
She always wanted to be an astronaut. While she was at Harvard she interned at NASA. The way the Blue Origin PR movie tells her story, her dreams of being an astronaut were interrupted when she was raped at Harvard in 2013. She then spent time fighting for the rights of rape survivors and never became an astronaut. But, in the Blue Origin PR piece’s version of events, that’s all fine because now her dream of being an “astronaut” is finally coming true, because she was launched into the upper atmosphere in a penis rocket and spent a few minutes in space.

Well here I was thinking I was as sad as I was getting today
That’s the thing about 2025, the sadness mines always go deeper.
