Katy Perry space trip flooded with jokes, criticism

Katy Perry went on Blue Origin’s all female space tourism mission along with five other women, including journalist Gayle King, however, people on the internet are not very impressed.

Referring to the scene after the singer returned back to Earth, one user questioned, “katy perry went to space for like 4 minutes wtf is she kissing the ground for?”

Another called out the ironic nature of the hugely publicized mission considering the political climate, “Crazy how Katy Perry and Lauren Sanchez going to ‘space’ for 10 minutes is supposed to ‘inspire women’, but the women who already worked at NASA are checks notes getting fired and getting their bios removed from the site.”

Others sought to bring attention to one of the members of the mission, Amanda Nguyen, “The only person on this space flight people should be talking about is Amanda Nguyen.

She is a rape survivor who quit being an astronaut to pursue criminal justice and got rape laws changed. I'm sick of hearing about vapid Katy Perry.”

One user remarked on the global “irrelevance” of the mission, “In 2016, "they're sending Katy Perry to space" would have sent shockwaves across the global news. Today, it's just a popcrave tweet on the tl. Like sure, whatever I guess.”
