I guess because only the super privileged get to do it.
There wasn’t as much hating on Shatner when he did it.
But Joan Collins got a dig in.

I guess the world has become a more hateful place 3 years later?
I think yours is an accurate analysis.
Are these women "astronauts"? No. Never claimed to be. They were people that a private citizen (Bezos) compiled to cram aboard his experimental rocket. Consider this: Bezos might have considered them to be expendible, including his fi·ancé. I can see him saying to himself, "Lord, give me a sign."
I don't get all the hate toward them. Rich people do rich things. I think it was a moving experience for them, and that's okay with me. I will never get the opportunity to do the same, but I would in a heartbeat, IF my Darlin' would go also, but she would NEVER go, so I won't ever do so either. In short, I am envious of them, and I hope they had the time of their lives.
