Money talks eh. What a load of bollocks. Bunch of millionaires in tight suits going on a ten minute mission with rhe girlfriend of a dodgy billionaire. Girl power my arse.

If there’s one thing that can be taken from it, it is to look up and follow Amanda Nguyen. She’s a true scientist & astronaut and is a civil rights activist who changed SA laws

I stumbled upon this & ended up watching the whole thing. Very bizarre. I thought it actually was a space mission but they were there for 11 minuted. Totally unnecessary & embarrassing.

Man with too much money spends it impressing women. Meanwhile, children starve or die of preventable disease.

Wish she’d stayed up there!

Came here to say the same.

I genuinely thought it was a scientific experiment, to test the impact of zero gravity on cosmetic fillers?

The whole thing was grotesque. The screaming. The kissing the earth. The space suits. It was like a premonition of a chavtastic hen weekend to Mars in 200 years time. Belittled all the amazing females working in STEM. Just awful.

Lost all respect for Katy Perry now

New lines of make-up and parfum being branded as we speak

Event Horizon: the perfect primer for avoiding those disfiguring gravitational 'tweak' mishaps

Daisy Daisy Daisy Space Scent: a great cover-up aroma for those moments when seeing The Whole Of The Moon proves to be just a little too exciting for some

Love Goddess Above! A range of eyeshadows with top notes reminiscent of feathers, lips, boot-cut pant suits and that hairstyle that every woman in the US on tv currently has and that really needs to stop now

Hen Parties really are getting out of control..never mind a weekend in Ibiza or a week in Vegas now you've got to go to space with your gal pals.

They didn't go into orbit. Or space even. Not really. They weren't high enough. It's a bit of an extreme plane ride really. It was the same when Bezos went up.

And they call them 'astronauts'. What a brilliant way to downplay the achievements of every true astronaut that has gone before them, including all those that lost their lives 😞

jcyclops · 14/04/2025 23:01

I was really angry at various news reports calling them "crew" when they were actually passengers.

EasternStandard · 14/04/2025 23:05

I missed all the hype and just saw an image today. Totally bonkers and so much that could be spent on rather than Katy Perry and co

jazzybelle · 14/04/2025 23:07

I don't know about the others but for Katy Perry, it was nothing more than attention-seeking. Hasn't she got a tour coming up?

Funnywonder · 14/04/2025 23:13

More self indulgent rich people engaging in a vulgar display of wealth.

TheAutumnCrow · 14/04/2025 22:26

They thought they saw the curvature of the earth very briefly, but it was Lauren's lips in silhouette against one of the viewing windows.

Weak laughing at this 🤣

Me too. And something about “putting the “ass” in “astronaut” 😖
You’re not crew and you’re not an astronaut, make it stop.
It was all so regressive and infantilising.

ColinRobinsonsFart · 14/04/2025 23:25

I can see all this going tits up just like the submarine did……

HomelessAngua · 14/04/2025 23:31

Stop using Amazon is a good start..

You see Bezos fall over trying to get into the capsule?

BlueEyedBogWitch · 15/04/2025 02:24

Apparently, while they were up there, Katy Perry sang ‘What a Wonderful World’ by Louis Armstrong .

That’s some cruel and unusual punishment right there, isn’t it? Being strapped into a rocket and fired into space, then forced to listen to Katy Perry murdering a jazz classic, all the while surrounded by gargoyles held together by narcissism and fillers.

I’d be sitting there wondering if I’d been Hitler in a former life.

Show quote history

There are loads of clips on YouTube he fully face palms the floor.

Couleur · 15/04/2025 02:25

I’m not sure I agree with the sarcasm here. I think the point is that they aren’t astronauts by any means, but still had enough bravery to strap themselves onto a massive exploding rocket that absolutely has the capacity to go wrong at any moment. Yes, they are wealthy, and I’ll never have the chance to do the same, but I can admire that bravery - as I do with every astronaut.

BlueEyedBogWitch · 15/04/2025 02:27

And apparently Perry held a daisy up to the sky on disembarking, because her daughter is called Daisy.

Do you have to have your cringe detector removed before you go into space?

S0j0urn4r · 15/04/2025 02:32

KP went skydiving in Dubai as a dry run to make sure her hair would stay in place. I shit you not!

ItsUpToYou · 15/04/2025 02:33

I feel like I’m living in a dystopian reality. News reports about the rich holidaying to space while an ever-increasing number of people cannot afford to feed their families.

BlueEyedBogWitch · 15/04/2025 02:40

We really are in the last days of Rome, aren’t we?
