Astronaut Emily Calanderelli became the 100th woman in space – The sexist attack and her answer

Having conquered it, Emily Calandrelli’s mind was rather far from the trolls that “rehabited” on the Internet of this planet. But less than 24 hours after MIT’s engineer, astronaut and telepresenter, known as the “Space Gal”, became the 100th woman who entered space, “male’s hordes” on the internet sexually assaulted her raw and emotional reaction, as she reported in a social media post. In a video uploaded to social media by Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin, it appears the surprised Calanderelli, which was one of the six “space” tourists involved in the launch, looking out the window and ecstasy: “God, this is space!”. Hundreds of social media users sent support messages to Calanderelli, calling it “inspiration for women and young girls”. But the trolls took the opportunity to start an innocent attack with many offensive comments, which forced Blue Origin to download her original video and replace it with a edited.. Calanderelli said she would not let online trolls destroy an experience that brought her “the most impressive joy and awe that changed her life.” See this post on Instagram. “I refuse to give too much time to small men online,” he said in the post. “I will not apologize or feel weird about my reaction. It’s entirely mine and I like it.” See this post on Instagram. Along with Calanderelli in the scaffold were Sharon Hagle, Marc Hagle, Austin Litteral, James (J.D.) Russell and Henry (Hank) Wolfond. When she safely landed at the Blue Origin launch site in West Texas, Calandrelli compared her experience with motherhood. “I immediately turned upside down and looked at the planet and then there was so much space, and I kept saying, ‘This is our planet! ‘. ’ It was the same feeling I felt when my children were born where I am, seeing it for the first time.” In June 1963, Soviet cosmonaut Valentina V. Terescuva became the first woman to travel into space, but it would be 20 years before another woman left Earth.
