The controversy sparked by the suborbital flight of Blue Origin's New Shepard spacecraft has generated new tones over the term "astronaut" for space tourism.
On this flight, which featured six women, including singer Katy Perry, journalist Gayle King, and Lauren Sánchez, Jeff Bezos's partner, several US government officials appeared on the story to discuss the issue.
