Emily Calandrelli has issued a response to the “small men on the internet” who belittled and sexualized her after she became the 100th woman to go to space.
The female astronaut and MIT engineer joined Jeff Bezos’s aerospace company Blue Origin on their ninth human rocket mission to fly past the Kármán line — a boundary that separates Earth’s atmosphere from outer space — and back down in minutes. Calandrelli was one of six other tourists to take flight including Austin Litteral, Henry Wolfond, James (J.D.) Russell, Sharon Hagle, and Marc Hagle.
