Does this make every person that flew in a plane a pilot.  :-//

They basically were just passengers on this space craft.  :palm:

Amelia Earhart became famous in 1928 as the first female passenger in a trans-Atlantic flight.
In 1932, she became the first female solo pilot of a non-stop trans-Atlantic flight.

And what are the chances that she (or the other guy who flew with her) was responsible for her own doomed flight because of navigation or aviation mistakes?

This is not at all to ding woman pilots or astronauts; as Rogan says (un-ironically I assume), we should celebrate them.

Fred Noonan, the “other guy”, was the navigator on the ill-fated circumnavigating flights.

Back in the 19-ought-70s, my friends and I used to sing this old sentimental song, the chorus of which I still remember:

        There's a beautiful, beautiful field,
        Far away in a land that is fair.
        Happy landings to you, Amelia Earhart,
        Farewell, first lady of the air.

as a general search to see how woman astronaut "looks like"
most space organizations have photos in the full spacewalk gear
i suppose it is a hint that these folks have been trained to do work inside and outside of a spacecraft
BO seem to allow the release of the videos, which deliberately blur what is space tourist

if we look at BO photos old vs new
previously BO "crew" group pics doesnt have any zippers down
and more interestingly
the SEO appear deliberately wiped so that none of the previous suits show up as current search
as shabaz below didnt like the "SEO wipe"
well maybe i shall call it a twisting of public searchable perception
as oppose to others
so the BO "promotion" is that this is totally fine, zippers down, going for a holiday ?
well there is a big difference like when sheet metal has been deburred, it is only a tiny bit of metal
as shabaz again think this is small meaningless details
these are concious decisions
BO is not a toddler fashion retail store either

the suit is supposedly designed by "high fashion" designer
the color scheme of the suit accentuates something
did you all noticed the effect of the darker blue tone at the sides ?
it appears to enhance perception of *ahem* depth

ok sure, emphasis on fun and "relaxing" trip

No, such SEO wiping is a figment of your vivid imagination most likely.

Have you really not got anything better to do, than to google-search for these images and take the effort to take screenshots and share with others to examine the position of zippers?! What's that got to do with anything remotely engineering related?

That was a totally different time, where woman were still seen as just housewife's basically. And she actually became a pilot her self. I don't see Katy Perry becoming a true astronaut that actually controls a space craft and performs special task when in space.

I see space tourism as a completely different sport.

It's a mixture of psychological Evel Knievel and Joe Avarage doing the morning train ride.
Other than a basic health check and lots of money (or fame, to have others pay for you), this requires *zero* knowledge, abilities or whatever. Leika probably had more training than these passengers.

I thought "space tourism" was really bad for the environment while just being a fantasy for ultra-rich people.
Does an all-women team make it better? :-//

The most prominent alumnus of my college was the economist Thorstein Veblen, author of the Theory of the Leisure Class (1899), where he introduces “conspicuous consumption” in Chapter 4.
