30 Hilariously Spot-On Reactions To Blue Origin’s Galactic PR Stunt With Katy Perry Gone Weird
“You don't have to feel like a waste of space. You're original, cannot be replaced,” sang Katy Perry back in 2010. Little did she know back then that 15 years later, she would be chanting “One, two, three: Take up space!” while being in space herself.
Earlier this week, the singer of the hit ‘Firework’ became one of the six women to go on a suborbital space tourism mission on Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket. The first all-female space crew in more than 60 years comprised Katy Perry, Gayle King, Lauren Sánchez, Kerianne Flynn, Aisha Bowe, and Amanda Nguyen and reportedly spend just over 10 minutes on the mission, reaching an apogee of 346,802 ft above ground level / 350,449 ft above mean sea level (106 km AGL / 107 km MSL).
Upon successful completion, the women were thrilled, but their emotions, both before and after the mission, as well as the quest itself were met with different reactions from the general public. Many people took to the internet to share what they thought about Blue Origin’s mission, and they didn’t hold back their opinions much. Scroll down to find some of their thoughts on the list below.

Thank you! Let's stop glorifying the collaborators and start taking care of the people who are being hurt by this administration.

I was thinking the same thing that "They were not crew." All they did was just take a ride and scream like little girls when they reached weightlessness.

These "Charlie's Angels" demeaned the hard work and incredible ability of all REAL women astronauts. Sickening.

And those women actually worked hard to acquire the skills they needed. They didn't sing moronic pop songs or blabber all over TV or get giant knockers for their billionaire boyfriends.

Real women astronauts are scientists of great ability. This demeans all of them.

Why do they refer to them as 'crew' I thought they were just passengers with more money than sense

Nope -- Oprah refused to go. So Gayle was the logical replacement. Sadly.

How much money did you waste and carbon did you dump into the atmosphere for the "benefit of Earth" exactly?

Couldn't Gayle have pushed ol' Katy out the airlock just for that horror alone?

I wouldn’t do this myself. I don’t want to get blown up in a crappy piece of equipment that was probably made by people working too many hours for low pay (to maximize profits.)

They were passengers, not crew. As far as I know, NASA redefined the word and doesn't call them astronauts because they did nothing.

Up and down, whoopee-doo. In 1961 Yuri Gagarin, USSR and the first man in space, orbited the earth. So did Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space, also USSR, in 1963, 48 times. She was not a passenger.

I'm glad you added this, it was quite lazy for BP to repost these photos, label them as "cringe" and to not add any context whatsoever. The first actual female astronaut deserves to be a household name and they didn't even mention her.

I don’t blame them for doing this. I blame them for publicizing it. Tone deaf to what’s happening in the country.

Tone deaf to what's happening *in* and *to* the whole world.

Seeing this, I am hopeful that these women will appreciate the sacrifice astronauts make as researchers whenever they go into space. Many people don’t know the astronauts have often gone to space to conduct studies on the human body, including how to cure cancer.

"Mission"... you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

The best comment l read was "Meanwhile, in District 12..." I don't think those morons realise how utterly ready to eat the rich we are.

Even if all the critics *would* go to space, (which is false) flaunting such a luxury during an economic crisis and amid escalating climate concerns would still invite the same valid criticism for its tone-deafness and environmental impact. Not to mention promoting the false narrative of empowering women by a company owned by one of the world's richest men who actively supports the most anti-women US administrations since Suffrage.
