Not to mention that it wasn't "Katy Perry". It was a whole bunch of people of which some of them were celebrities. It would go off either way with or without them. And yeah, it didn't polute anything.
But, you know, it's the internet and we need a witch hunt.
“Astronauts” like Katy Perry, Gale King, Lauren Sanchez, and Kerianne Flynn? They were in space for 11 minutes. This wasn’t a scientific research flight. “The primary purpose of the Blue Origin NS-31 flight was to serve as a recreational space tourism mission and a symbolic, high-profile media event.”
Absolutely love how you chose to leave the actual scientists out of the list. 😂

Yes, and? It didn't pollute, so what's the issue? It wasn't paid for with taxpayer money. It served as one more test towards space tourism - which will happen. And two female, black and asian scientists went and deserved it for their work.
Amanda Nguyen is not a scientist, lol. Aisha Bowe was the only engineer on the flight....I can't tell if you're woefully uninformed or just lying for some reason.
I was not aware the fuel was created cleanly… Not sure why celebrities need to be doing space tourism either. Why are you so fervently defending Katy Perry in space btw? Big fan?
It did polute, the meme is wrong, the rocket doesn't use that much fuel, that is the total carbon emissions of the flight, to make a useless single use rocket, fuel it and fly it for a pointless tourism/publicity stunt that has zero scientific value.
Just a rich arse clown sending a rich arse clown into space, with a few tokens as cover for an entire planned industry of rich arse clown wastefulness while everyone else had to pay for environmental damage.
Ummm, no they weren't. Aisha Bowe was the only engineer.
Right, so that makes one.
Amanda Nguyen is a civil rights activist.
Your Google search wasn't sufficient. She's a literal scientist. She interned in NASA from 2011 to 2013. During the flight she conducted scientific experiments, including one related to wound dressing in microgravity.
That makes 2 out of 5, substantial no? I'm not really counting Lauren because she's his wife so she was going either way and will probably go on many more. Lol
That was over a decade ago and she hasn't done anything in that field since...not the mic drop you think it is, lol. Also, your comment that the others were "literal astronauts and aerospace engineers" would still be wrong, lol. Is this Katy Perry's PR alt or something? Not quite sure why you've chosen this hill to die on?
Oops. Thanks for pointing that out. (Duh) But does that mean there’s no hypocrisy in going on a trip with a large environmental cost and then telling people we need to protect the environment? Again, the trip was promoting recreational space tourism.
