Space tourism cannot be the future - regardless of which celebrity is spirited around in orbit
Was in space. With a rocket by the private space travel provider Blue Origin. He belongs to Jeff Bezos, one of the richest people in the world, and his fiance Lauren Sánchez invited Katy Perry to this excursion. Our author finds this company unnecessary. How come? She explains that here.
Raket flight from Blue Origin: These women were in space
Next toare Lauren Sánchez, presenter Gayle King, the two former NASA employees Aisha Bowe and Amanda Nguyen and film producer Kerianne Flynn flew into space. Flight NS-31 started on April 14, 2025 in western Texas.
That says Katy Perry about her trip to space
Katy Perry had a very clear (Space) mission for her blue-origin flight: "The space is finally getting glamorous. I tell you something now: if I could take glamor and glitter with me, I would do it," she will be fromUS magazinePeoplecited. “We bring the 'Ass' (German: ass) in Astronaut:in.”
Perhaps a star vomits exactly in this quote and becomes a supernova, which our obviously inexperienced humanity simply wipes out. That by the way, figure and also theThe focus of the skin-tight catsuit for short-term tourists in space was self-evident., which was still going to go.
That is why this flight has nothing to do with empowerment
The fact that six women now, all of them are well looked after or rather: damn rich and really well networked, start in space is absolutely and nothingto do. Because Perry and Co. are a marketing stunt.If years of training have to go through, work for research purposes on an excursion into space, and even then it is not certain whether they ever see the earth from above - because the manned space travel for scientific purposes has been screwed back for decades, and the number of scientists: inside in space is limited.
The two NASA employees Bowe and Nguyen were not in orbit on April 14, 2025 before the Blue-Origin flight on April 14, 2025. Nguyen wanted to draw attention to the discrimination against women within NASA. Is a flight paid by Jeff Bezos, the right way? Unclear.
That is why there have been so few women in space so far
Quite simply: because empowerment and equality in Space Studies have so far been written down. First the black women had to calculate the airways (), Then women were smiled at in MINT courses and had no chance of prestige projects such as space conquest. And then? Then NASA, the US space authority, did not have enough space suits to send an all-female crew.
Admittedly, the NASA thinks in the shapely suits in which all astronaut: so far flew around the orbit, and not in the sleek, skin -tight catsuits with which Perry and Co.scratch. How come? Because space tourism is useless on the edge of the Orbits - NASA also sees it that way. Nobody, except for your own ego, has something of four minutes of weightlessness in an area that is anything but unexplored thanks to all satellites that circle in orbit.
Katy Perry in space: Criticism by Hollywood stars
There was also criticism of Katy Perry, Gayle King and Co. and her trip to space from prominent Hollywood greats. While, BFF by Gayle King, her friend in Texas support and, Kris Jenner andThe hobby astronauts passed, for example, Emily Ratajkowski and actress Olivia Munn expressed their doubts about the importance of space mission.
Munn said loudlyPromi-PortalPage Sixthat their criticism would certainly be uncool, but: "At the moment there are so many other things in the world that are more important" than the private trip into weightlessness. However, she would have no problem with people doing this, but the staging in question. In a podcast sequence of“Today With Jenna and Friends”Munn explained: "If you want to fly into space, do it. Have a good time up there, come down safely, but you don't have to spread."
When-Host Jenna Bush Hager noted that the crew wanted to fly into space, Munn could no longer hide her surprise: "Why? I find it unexpected," said the actress and mother. "Research into space should expand our knowledge and help humanity. But what will you do up there to make our lives better down here?" - legitimate question, with an unclear answer.
And? Described the space trip as “end-time shit*e”. In a video on Tikkok, the model was more about the blue-original flight: “This trip is more than a parody. On the one hand, they say that they take care of Mother Earth and go around our earth, and then they fly into space with a spaceship that is built and paid for by a company that destroys the planet on its own." However, she was not yet at the end of her criticism: you have to look at the state of the world and think about how many resources were used for the eight -minute space excursion plus the associated marketing. "All of this contradicts me."
Actress and directorCommented just on Instagram: "billions of dollars for a handful of memes."
Blue-Organ flight: In eight minutes with an embarrassing staging back into the past
I need eight minutes to walk to the next subway station. The crew of the Blue-Origin rocket takes eight minutes to throw us back into the Space Age, the absurd struggle for the moon and the space.
IfSays that she wants to be the “ASS” in “Astronautin” and wants to bring glamor to space, I wonder if she actually knows why the space was researched-and that an eight-minute excursion in a rocket is simply not a Red Carpet appearance, but inserted an incredible amount of money (in the truest meaning of the word).
After all, I also wondered whether Katy Perry suffers from distorted perception and her song “et” (featuring, of all humans, and a lot of aliens!) Take too seriously: Before she climbed into the rocket, she pathetically and patriotically put her hand on her heart as if she was taking the famous big step for humanity. And when she was back on the floor, she kissed the sand in the Texas wasteland. Oh boy ... what's wrong with Katy Perry? She has considered an extremely Weirde marketing strategy for her space adventure and that with no one, except maybe maybe-Friend Jeff Bezos, agreed? Or has she just seen too many science fiction films about the conquest of space so that she thinks she has now served her home country? I did not think that I would like this once, but: I want to be “flash” by the “men in black” - not because I saw an extraterrestrial, but because these unnecessarily pathetic images burned me on the retina.
After her space trip, Gayle King recorded that she would have impressed the silence up there. Yeah, connoisseur: "Nobody hears you in space in space", that is the great teaching from the fantasticWith Sigourney Weaver. King also said that she would have reminded the sight of our blue planet that you always had to strive for improvement. A little tip: Maybe a first small step in this direction, on his co2-Fußprint to look at and not to miss emissions and millions of dollars for eight minutes of personal space fun.
Honestly: if you fly into space for eight minutes, you will not find anything exploring any new knowledge that humanity needs. Rather, the whole show is pretty embarrassing in times of, War, economic crisis and Tohuwabohu in the country of departure. For the few minutes of weightlessness, money is really burned to ashes - even though children in the “Space Mountain” in Disneyworld like Astronaut: can drive through light tunnels inside. If another celebrity has the desire to break into space, please fly directly to the moon and stay right above. Because for me the following applies: Houston, we have 99 problem, but space tourism ain't one.
