Katy Perry went to space earlier this week, proclaiming we need to work to protect the Earth.
So Perry, how exactly are you protecting the earth by pumping up carbon emissions for an 11-minute trip to space?
That seems to make a whole lot of sense.
The utter irony that she sang “What a Wonderful World” while up on the border of the Earth and space.
For Blue Origin, Jeff Bezos space company behind this adventure, to call this a mission in general is outrageous.
A mission for what? To promote their space tourism business where a ticket costs $28 million?
That’s pure insanity.
Space should be for trained astronauts and scientists to do research, not pump tons of emissions into the air for the sake of celebrity entertainment.
I’m siding with all the other celebrities who have made comments online about how absolutely blasphemous this is.
My personal favorite of these is Wendy’s response on X, “Katy Perry has returned from space. Can we send her back?”
Kesha made this even funnier by posting a selfie later that day smiling while holding a Wendy’s cup.
Those aboard the ship have responded to the backlash defending themselves but I mean come on.
This wasn’t an important mission. This was celebrities trying to make a headline while damaging exactly what they are claiming to be trying to protect.
The environment didn’t like that. The planet didn’t like that. I didn’t like that.
I personally won’t be supporting those who thought this was a good idea.
Point.
Blank.
Period.
