On April 14, one of our favorite artists of the best musical variety, Katy Perry He made history to be part of the first exclusively female crew that traveled to space, aboard the rocket New SHEPARD DE BLUE ORIGIN.
It was an exciting and symbolic moment, which marked an important step for the inclusion of women in space exploration and for music lovers since it was the first singer is to reach space.
But, although many celebrated the milestone, a great environmental concern has also emerged.
According to French media, each passenger of the space flight left a carbon footprint of about 15 tons of CO₂, which is equivalent to the emissions that an average person generates in eight years. And that without counting indirect emissions, which include the construction of the rocket and the preparation of the mission, which could further increase the impact.
Without a doubt, this case has opened an important debate: is it worth advancing in space tourism if it is harming the environment so much?
The mission of Katy Perry He has put on the table a reflection that many are being done: should we continue betting on these advances, or do we need to rethink the price we are paying for them?
Katy Perry in space and debate on the space future
The trip of Katy Perry Space is an incredible achievement, but it also makes us think about the future. We want to explore the space, go further, but we cannot forget that the earth is our home. If we are going to continue taking steps towards the future, it may be time to look for ways to do it more sustainably. Because, in the end, the planet is the most important thing, and what we do today will determine how tomorrow will be.
The Environmental Footprint of Katy Perry’s space trip
According to the calculations made by French means, it is estimated that each of the passengers of the flight of Blue Origin left a carbon footprint of some 15 tons of co₂a figure that can be surprising if we consider that, on average, a person issues approximately 1.8 tons of co₂ per year in their daily lives.
That is, the emissions of each passenger during these 11 minutes of flight are equivalent to those that a person would generate in eight years. A really shocking fact.
The funny thing is that, even though Blue Origin He claims to use liquid hydrogen as fuel to minimize the environmental impact, it has been pointed out that much of this hydrogen is “gray”.
This means that, although technology itself might seem cleaner, the hydrogen production process used remains very polluting, since it occurs from natural gas through processes that release large amounts of CO₂.

However, it also invites us to reflect on the consequences of our actions: how can we make these advances do not stay alone in luxury for a few, but also align with respect and care for our planet?
