Blue Origin Announces All-Women Crew For Upcoming Mission

So the “crew” will ride the “fully autonomous” ship up and down? I don’t want to go to space, to kudos to them for being brave enough to do it. But how is it they aren’t just space tourists? And if that’s the case, then is this really a noteworthy event? “All female passengers go for joy ride in rocket powered bus” would be equally appropriate? I’m not mocking them, as I really don’t follow the space based stuff, but from my uninformed position, I feel like I missed something in this story that makes it news worthy.
