Women Literally Just Went to Space

When women take up space, people get 
real uncomfortable. 

So… on April 14th, six women blasted into actual space aboard Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket. And the internet lost it. 

Let's start with the facts:

This was the first all-female spaceflight crew since 1963. Yes, you read that right. Sixty. Freaking. Years.

Here's who was onboard:

Kerianne Flynn — storyteller and producer of The Space Race, a doc on underrepresented astronauts.  Gayle King — living icon.  Aisha Bowe — aerospace engineer, CEO, literal rocket scientist.  Amanda Nguyen — civil rights activist, Nobel Peace Prize nominee.  Katy Perry — pop legend, who's been teasing “Woman's World” and celestial themes all year.  Lauren Sánchez — journalist, pilot, and Bezos' fiancée.

The girls really said, “We're not waiting to be chosen. We're launching ourselves.” 

And yet… what did the comment section do?

“Why are they going?”
“What did they do to deserve it?”
“Oh great, another PR stunt.”

Even Kesha and Wendy's (yes, the burger chain) couldn't help but throw shade.

We love a cheeky tweet, but when women—and brands—use their platforms to diminish other women's dreams?

That's not edgy. That's internalized misogyny in a red wig and frosty combo.

And the fact that Katy Perry got on that rocket? Iconic.

She's been singing about signs, about alignment, about a woman's world.

So when she got chosen to go to space… it felt like a cosmic wink.


Here's what we do know…

When a woman rises—when she does something bold, brave, or boundary-breaking—someone will try to knock her back down.

Not because she isn't worthy.

But because her power makes them uncomfortable.

Not the world launching women into space—and Kesha sitting in the wendy's drive-thru  like, “meh.”

So, let us ask you this:

Will you be the woman who launches the rocket, or the one who criticizes from the ground? 

Because here's the truth:

You don't need to wait for anyone to hand you the mic, the invite, or the permission slip.
You can create your own seat on the rocket. Your own moment. Your own platform.

That's exactly what we do at the

Create Your Offer Workshop → 

We help women take what they already have—and turn it into something the world can't ignore. 

So if you're ready to stop waiting and start launching…

Because your next move might be the rocket.
