Blue Origin Caught Stage managing Stage managed Event

[gortex]

After Wendy's burger chain asked if we could send them back to space the US government has put an end to the claim they are Astronauts.
 

The U.S. commercial space industry is an inspiring project which showcases American ingenuity and exceptionalism. But the last FAA guidelines under the Commercial Space Astronaut Wings Program were clear: Crewmembers who travel into space must have “demonstrated activities during flight that were essential to public safety, or contributed to human space flight safety.”

The crew who flew to space this week on an automated flight by Blue Origin were brave and glam, but you cannot identify as an astronaut.
They do not meet the FAA astronaut criteria.

Sorry folks , if you fly in a plane you are not a pilot.
