As you have probably heard by now, a number of well-known women made a brief appearance in space on Monday. This potentially bizarre ploy was connected to billionaire Jeff Bezos. The Blue Origin trip, which was operated by Jeff’s own space enterprise, included an all-female space crew, such as Jeff’s fiancée, Lauren Sánchez, Gayle King, Katy Perry, producer Kerianne Flynn, and scientists Aisha Bowe and Amanda Nguyễn.
This was the first time an entire women crew headed to space. However, it is important to note that these women cannot be regarded as the crew since the ship was ‘fully autonomous’ and none of them were operating it.
Why these Women Went to Space?
The reason why these women went to the space is a quite tricky and bizarre one. Turns out, there was none! The mission only lasted 11 minutes, out which 4 were spent in the space. Up there, Katy Perry ended up singing ‘What a Wonderful World.’ Yes, no satire there.
“I’ve covered that song in the past and obviously my higher self is always steering the ship because I had no idea that one day I’d be singing that song in space,” Perry shared.

“It’s not about me or simply singing my songs. It’s about the collective energy we create, making space for future women and appreciating the wonderful world we see all around us. Ultimately, this is all for the benefit of the Earth.” she continued.
If you thought there was a bigger more profound reason for going to the space, well, you were wrong!

Celebrities are Confused Too
You and I are not the only ones confused about the space mission. In fact, some well-known celebrities, like Emily Ratajkowski addressed how absolutely bizarre the whole mission was, especially since it lasted a mere 11 minutes.
Emily took to TikTok and stated in a video:
“That space mission this morning? That’s end-time shit. Like, this is beyond parody. Saying that you care about Mother Earth and it’s about Mother Earth, and you’re going up in a spaceship that is built and paid for by a company that’s singlehandedly destroying the planet? Look at the state of the world and think about how many resources went into putting these women into space… For what? What was the marketing there?”
Emily said what perhaps most of us were thinking. What was the point of the mission? All this money and resources were spent so some famous women can go to the space for 4 minutes? What impact must it have on the earth?
Emily wasn’t the only one though. Many took on social media to express their utter shock on the mission. One user wrote: “They acted like it was a win for feminism. The money used to send them to space could have been used to actually help women in so many ways.”
That leaves us with a question: should rich and famous people be allowed to do everything in the name of making history, or should some things be left to the professionals?
