The mission, funded by <strong>Jeff Bezos\u2019<\/strong> space exploration company, has faced criticism, particularly regarding its <strong>environmental impact<\/strong>. Many believe the mission is a wasteful display of wealth and resources, especially considering the pressing environmental concerns on Earth.<\/p>\n<p>Although Perry doesn\u2019t regret going to space, calling the experience \u201clife-changing,\u201d a source revealed to the <strong>Daily Mail<\/strong> that she does have some regrets about the way she publicly handled the event. The source mentioned that she regrets the attention-seeking behavior, specifically <strong>kissing the ground<\/strong> after landing and the <strong>close-up camera moments<\/strong> inside the spacecraft, which many found distasteful.<\/p>\n<p>The mission itself was historic for its all-female crew, which included Perry, <strong>Lauren Sanchez<\/strong> (Bezos\u2019 fianc\u00e9e), journalist <strong>Gayle King<\/strong>, former NASA rocket scientist <strong>Aisha Bowe<\/strong>, civil rights activist and bioastronautics researcher <strong>Amanda Nguyen<\/strong>, and film producer <strong>Kerianne Flynn<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>However, the mission has drawn widespread criticism. <strong>Emily Ratajkowski<\/strong> took to <strong>TikTok<\/strong> to condemn the space trip, calling it \u201cbeyond parody\u201d and accusing the women of \u201cdestroying the planet.\u201d She also expressed being \u201cdisgusted\u201d by their antics. <strong>Olivia Wilde<\/strong> mocked the landing by commenting on her Instagram Story, saying, \u201cBillion dollars bought some good memes I guess,\u201d referencing Perry\u2019s dramatic kiss of the ground after landing. <strong>Olivia Munn<\/strong> also chimed in on the <strong>Today<\/strong> show, calling the mission \u201cobnoxious\u201d and questioning its contribution to humanity. <strong>Amy Schumer<\/strong> joined in by sarcastically mocking the trip, saying she was added last-minute and showing a <strong>Black Panther toy<\/strong> she brought with her \u201cfor no reason,\u201d jokingly saying it had no meaning.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, <strong>Gayle King<\/strong> has defended the space trip, emphasizing that it was far from frivolous. She expressed disappointment at the online trolling and hurtful comments, stating she didn\u2019t appreciate the negativity surrounding her involvement in the mission.<\/p>\n<p>While Perry has yet to address the criticisms directly, it\u2019s clear that the space trip, and particularly its highly publicized moments, have stirred up a considerable amount of debate about the intersection of celebrity culture, environmental concerns, and space tourism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Katy Perry\u2019s recent spaceflight aboard Blue Origin\u2019s New Shepard spacecraft has sparked significant backlash from both netizens and several celebrities\u2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":69890,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[2901],"class_list":["post-69889","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity-news","tag-katy-perry"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69889","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69889"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69889\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69890"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69889"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69889"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69889"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
