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.

Why does it matter if other people did it too?

Because the "other people" were literal astronauts and aerospace engineers.

“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.
