It is an amusement park ride, though. No one's doing research in 11 minutes in orbit (I don't think it even counts as space)

Yet nobody said a thing over the past 10+ years when dozens of billionaire men have done the EXACT SAME THING. It's because it's women you've heard of. Such BS. Such misogyny and such hypocrites.

People are free to spend their money however they want.
If we start policing how people spend their money, you're subject to it as well. That beach vacation? That money could instead go to a scientist or artist who can study or paint the beach and share it with everyone.
I don’t mean to be a jerk but it seems that you don’t recognize that this happens in regular life too. I would never waste my money and spend as much on a car as my neighbor did, for example. Why did they take *that* vacation- what a waste of money. And so on.
But does your neighbor do a media run promoting his car purchase lol?

I find this attitude extremely misogynistic.
There are a million things men spend money on that we can point at and say "for what? Those resources can go to something else".
Overall we're fine if men choose to spend their money on season tickets, ATVs, video games, or any other number of wasteful hobbies. But women are expected to put their money towards helping others? Doesn't make sense to me.
