I think this experience showed me that you don’t know how much love there is inside you, how much love you have to give and how love you are until the day of the launch, ”he said Katy Perry on Monday, moments after returning to the mainland After flying to space with five other women on a suborbital flight in Blue Origin, the company of Jeff Bezos. Your four -year -old daughter, Dave Dove Bloom, the result of its relationship with Orlando Bloom, It was his greatest support and inspiration and said in Texas dressed as a mini astronaut to accompany her. In her honor, when she landed, the singer raised a margarita in the air (her daughter translated into Spanish means daisy) and said that this was the second best experience of his life “After being a mother.”
The journey aboard the rocket New Shepard It lasted between 10 and 15 minutes and, during that time, the singer took the opportunity to make her own “space” version of the song “Whats Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong. The images of the experience soon echoed on social networks and many wondered how much It costs a trip of these characteristics. Also, although the interpreter of “Fireworks” expressed her happiness for having completed a dream that she had for 15 years, it was also in the eye of the storm and it was White of criticism from several Hollywood stars.

It was a historical journey and the six women had a unique view, just above the Kárman line, the limit known as the “edge of space” 100 kilometers above the earth. The ship descended with a parachute and landed in the Texas desert.
The experience that Katy Perry did It generated a lot of curiosity around the world. One of the biggest questions was precisely Canta money is needed to be able to carry it out.

But, as is usually the case in this kind of thing, criticisms soon arrived, even before takeoff. Days ago, the actress Olivia Munn was in the program Today with Jenna and Friends (NBC) and in dialogue with its driver Jenna Bush Hager (daughter of the former president of the United States George Bush) pointed against the space trip headed by Perry. “What are they doing? If you want to go to space, what do you need to tell usNo? Go up there, spend it well, come back, ”he launched. “You need a lot of money to go to space and there are many people who can’t even afford eggs”questioned the protagonist of The Newsroom.
On the other hand, on Monday, amid the repercussions for the trip to space, the model Emily Ratajkowski pointed fully against women’s decision to carry out that odyssey. “Today’s space mission?

So that? What was marketing? ”He lashed out and claimed to be” outraged “with the situation.
In turn, who also expressed his discomfort with the flight that the six women made of the Bezos company was the actress Olivia Wilde. Through his Instagram stories, he shared a meme from an X account of the moment when Katy Perry got out of the ship with a Margarita (in honor of her daughter Daisy) and put on her knees on the ground to kiss the earth. “Going down a commercial flight in 2025,” said the publication. The protagonist of Don’t worry love added with irony: “One billion dollars bought some good memes I suppose”.
Beyond the questions, the interpreter of “Teenage Dream” was happy and grateful to the historical experience he lived. He even said he would make a song based on his space adventure. “Someday, when you are older, are you going to keep looking up with amazement? I still process this incredible trip. Thanks Blue originated my space sisters, occupying space and making space for all – 143. See you on the tour (when it goes down, figuratively), ”said the singer in a post that made on Tuesday on Instagram next to a video of the trip to space.
