- Katy Perry and a crew went up into space on a Blue Origin flight
- The Jeff Bezos-backed mission lasted eight minutes
- Some are suggesting it was all a hoax
Blue Origin sent a vessel into space containing pop star Katy Perry, broadcaster Gayle King and others, but some are suggesting the whole thing was made up.
The company is one of the first commercial space travel enterprises. Founded by Amazon’s Jeff Bezos in 2000, it also featured his fiancée, Lauren Sanchez. Due to its star-studded nature, the venture has caught lots of attention. Kris Jenner and Khloe Kardashian even stood and watched take-off and landing.
Some might say the hoo-haa wasn’t warranted because it only lasted eight minutes. Others dubbed the whole thing a waste of precious resources, like Emily Ratajowski and Olivia Munn.
This is a totally different direction to what some others were saying on the internet. Many raised their doubts the thing even happened at all! People took to X to post their apparent refusal to believe it went happened. They supposedly didn’t buy that Perry serenaded everyone with What A Wonderful World above the Earth’s atmosphere

Who said the Blue Origin mission with Katy Perry was faked?
Well, the internet is always full of people speculating about lots of different things. Everyone can’t be right, but space travel has always inspired sceptics. Many still deny that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon in 1969.
Some dubbed it a “distraction” from something but gave no idea as to what they were referring to.
I’m pretty certain this Blue Origin launch is fake!! It doesn’t even look real. The real question is… why? Why go through all the trouble. A distraction from something?

Any push back?
The thought of the space landing be faked got a lot of pushback. Many highlighted how there was no real evidence for such a claim.
“Everyone saying the blue origin flight was fake has not given a valid/scientific explanation why,” one person pointed out.

People were very adamant to push back on any “conspiracy theories”.
Every comment/QRT on every tweet pertaining to the Blue Origin space launch looks like this and it’s making me want to tear my hair out. We are NOT doing “space is fake” conspiracy theories right now please for the love of god pic.twitter.com/Ki3hY2uY0p

Others thought it was “fake” but rather how it reflected back the way society is.
The Blue Origin take off and landing is significant in terms of it being a signifier of the fake, influencer obsessed narcissistic culture, which impacts our daily lives. A new authentic, humble, and humane human culture is rising. @realDonaldTrump epitomises the fake pic.twitter.com/PapSlql5MI

Anyway, it might have been a huge anti-climactic experience (some thought the I Kissed A Girl hitmaker would be up there for more than mere minutes) but it definitely happened!
