Katy Perry’s short space mission with Blue Origin as part of its first all-female crew on Monday resulted in hilarious memes. Perry was among the six members of the team that took a short trip to the Kármán line as they weightlessly floated about inside the aircraft for about three minutes and got a decent view of the moon before returning to Earth. The capsule safely landed in Texas, with each member exiting it looking evidently excited about their once-in-a-lifetime experience. In a heartfelt moment, the pop star kissed the ground at that moment.
Once clips from their space trip and return to Earth went viral, so did the overflow of memes, especially on X (formerly Twitter). One such hysterical post compared Perry singing Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World” to a video of Demi Lovato vocalizing “Skyscraper” with the text joking about the former “singing ET for the aliens” in space. Another user quipped about receiving all the updates within minutes. “This lasted shorter than Selena Gomez Social media breaks i’m crying,” the text read. One more parodied the singer landing in the capsule.
Besides all the memes, Katy Perry’s Blue Origin space trip also caused controversy, as they faced a great deal of backlash. Some complained that the space trip was a waste of money and unnecessary, with one user calling it an “11-minute joy ride.” Despite the criticism and jokes, several others also lauded the trip, calling it a “powerful” moment for women and a “huge step towards space tourism.”
