Is the space trip of Katy Perry and Blue originated a gross public relations trick?

Six women embarked yesterday at the New Shepard rocket in Blue Origin, in what it meant The first exclusively female flight since 1963. As fast as they took off, the crew landed in Texas.

On board were the singer Katy Perry, the television presenter Gayle King, the former ‘coherete’ of NASA Aisha Bowe, the civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen, the film producer Kerianne Flynn and the fiance of Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sánchez, while the stars Oprah WinfreyKris Jenner and Khloé Kardashian witnessed the landing of the rocket after 11 minutes comically short.

We are going to address some of the conversation issues Through three questions, which seemed to be doing the rest of the public. Are they not brave? No. What time to be alive, huh? Debatable. Do you think Katy Perry sang aboard the rocket?

Who does shit care … although, apparently, the entire crew heard Perry’s interpretation of ‘What a Wonderful World’ In addition to experiencing zero gravitywhich sounds as distressing as that ‘Willy Wonka scene and the 1971 chocolate factory’ in which the entire gang is on the ship and the Wonka of Gene Wilder recites a poem while a kaleidoscopic Vietnam flashback occurs in real time.

On the choice of the song, Perry declared: “I think it’s not about me or to sing my songs, but of a collective energy. It is about us and to leave space to the women of the future. This is this wonderful world We see out there and appreciate it. “Previously, he said, before the launch:” I think that from up there we will think: ‘My God, we have to protect Mother Earth’ “Please …

Although the feeling is noble, let’s call things by name: This advertising trick To monopol holders is nothing more than a ridiculously expensive photographic operation, detrimental to the environment and very little sensible, disguised as cheerful and happy activism.

All you want signals of virtue, but the billions spent in the project for a billionaire whose company is destroying the planet and thousands of CO₂ emissions will not hide the fact that this is insanity out of contact to the point of parody.

Protect Mother Earth?

Katy, you have burned more broadcasts than Taylor Swift throughout her eras tour. At least ‘Tay-Tay’ contributed million to the local economy. What contributed with his journey to the stars, courtesy of Blue Origin de Bezos? Nothing, apart from reminding people that the slogan of the Bezos company is ‘for the benefit of the land’, which is the death of irony. And we are not the only ones who think about it.

Several celebrities have ruled To criticize the trick, including model and actress Emily Ratajkowski, who revealed that she was “disgusted” by the recent space flight. Ratajkowski went to social networks after the landing of the mission and questioned, rightly, what the mission served.

“That spatial mission of this morning? It is the end of time. This goes beyond parody. Do you worry about Mother Earth and go in a spacecraft built and paid by a company that is destroying the planet without help? “

Ratajkowski continued asking: “Look at the state of the world. Think of how many resources were invested in putting these women in space … Why? What was the marketing there?” He concluded his diatribe by saying how disgusted “he is for the whole matter.

Although we totally agree with ratajkowski, It is not the only celebrity that has condemned the mission by waste and self -indulgent. The actress and director Oliva Wilde launched a deserved criticism of the space flight, writing in an Instagram story: “one billion euros have bought some good memes, I suppose,” and actress Olivia Munn previously criticized the mission by retaking things quite beautifully.

“What are they doing? I know that this is probably the most ‘cool’ What to say, but there are so many other things that are so important in the world right now. I know that this is probably hateful, but as, it is so much money to go to space, and there are a lot of people who cannot even afford a dozen eggs. “

Munn also wondered what “they are going to do up there, that he has done better for us below.” How can you guess, Internet did not disappoint with its reactions. Here are some of the favorites:

Now that this pathetic show is over, what is clear is that ego flights that try to normalize space tourism in times of war, environmental crisis and growing inequality of wealth They are gross, unjustified and reduce to a few very wrong rich on an ego trip. Not a space trip are they aware of the ridiculous they do?

It does not seem. After completing the mission, Perry shared: “This experience is the second after being a mother. That’s why it cost me to go, because there is all my love, and I have to give up and trust that the universe will take care of me and protect myself, and also my family and my daughter.”

The universe is screaming at the four winds right now, and if you want you to protect your family, Miss Perry, may not destroy it during Another false public relations step. Reality, empathy and the sense of self -awareness should not escape terrestrial gravity.
