Katy Perry's latest 11-minute Blue Origin spaceflight is quoted as making her an “astronaut” in some headlines, but Stewart isn’t letting that one go unchecked. The self-made billionaire Perry was quick to point out this is her first clear brush with these Baiknovian spaceships. Stewart used Instagram to give us some perspective, and her signature sprinkle of shade.
Martha’s Throwback Moment
The 83-year-old shared a never-before-seen clip of her during a NASA zero-gravity flight back in 2006. The clip has her doing effortless somersaults and push-ups mid-air like an Olympic gymnast, her poise utterly unmatched and spellbinding. Her caption? “Lasted a few seconds and in case you spaced from 2007 Martha's Fire were the Start of her Era.” The kicker? She set the video with Fireworks which fueled expectation of a playful dig.
But fans felt stood alongside Stewart and my favorite words. Stewart never stated Perry’s name, but making clothed pointing out her reasoning with elegance alongside Perry’s.
The Celebrity Spaceflight Debate
Katy Perry's suborbital flight has ignited a new cultural debate: does spending a few minutes on a rocket qualify one as an astronaut?
Munn mocked the commodification of space by commenting, "It’s so much money to go to space, and some people can’t even afford eggs."
Wendy's, the fast-food chain famous for their social media roasting, tweeted, "Can we send her back?" referring to Perry's dramatized kiss of the ground after the flight.
Olivia Wilde seemed to share the same outrage regarding the elitist nature of space travel.
Perry has not publicly addressed the backlash or comments made, but her silence has fueled more narratives and discussions.
Defenders and Critics
Not all have been throwing insults. Fellow passengers Gayle King and Lauren Sánchez defended the flight, claiming there are greater philanthropic and educational reasons behind Blue Origin's flights. They urged the naysayers to reconsider the motives and the educational merits of the mission.
That said, what remains is the debate: is going on a commercial space flight an achievement in science, or simply an extravagant pleasure cruise?
