Lily Allen: “What is all this about? … I just think it’s too out of place”
The trip, of course, did not leave everyone satisfied. After takeoff, there were few voices that described the mission as a sample of “Rico Tourism”to which only a minimum part of the population can access. Others, pointed to the “non -scientific” character of the trip, and the loss of resources that it entailed.
In his podcast “Miss me?”that leads with Oliver Miquitathe singer Lily Allen He joined the repairs.
“Do we want to talk about Katy Perry and her friends traveling to space for 12 minutes?”asked Allen to her co -lecturer, to which she replied: “I think that if they are going to travel to space for 12 minutes, we can talk about it for 10 seconds, and that is all that it deserves, in terms of proportion.”
Then, Allen deepened at the point: “That is, what is all this? But seriously: What? Why? For what? (…) I think they simply left the atmosphere, they turned around and returned. They did not go to the moon or anything similar,” said the singer, as the British portal picks up.

I don’t know how things feel in London, but in New York right now he feels expensive. It is difficult to leave home without spending $ 500, and not jokingly “he commented.
“I get cheaper to ask for food at home than to buy food and cook. It is very expensive here now, very expensive (…). I am very well economically, and I still get evident how difficult it is “he remarked.
Oliver, on the other hand, added that “it is not the most appropriate time to send Katy Perry to space”, to which Allen replied: “For no reason! We send people to space to discover things, for example, scientific reasons”.
“And the fact that they have become something like a feminist matter! (…). The only one you really have to congratulate is Aisha Bowe space scientist. There is also civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen, ”he said.
