Doctor proctor shit it when she found out she was going to space. And used it as a platform to talk about getting more black women into orbit. Not sure why though, I ain’t seen many disabled eskimos at NASA recently. Watch the video about Inspiration4 if you want to see why she did it. And probably why SpaceX chose her. Surely it should be about ability?
Some people are against forced diversity, here’s why https://www.forbes.com/sites/glennllopis/2017/01/16/5-reasons-diversity-and-inclusion-fails/?sh=52f596250dfe
And ironically NASA was one of the organizations that led the way with letting someone’s ancestry trump their skills and suitability. Though change has got to happen somehow.
Keep in mind that space isn’t as safe for women. Their bodies are more vulnerable than men’s bodies when it comes to some of the more important tasks it has to do whilst producing the offspring that will live in space themselves.

Bad idea. Those who can afford to go to space should go to space. End this forced sharing stuff.
