The mission was meant to make history as the first all-female Blue Origin flight.

The trip had the fingerprints of Jeff Bezos all over it—he personally funded and celebrated the mission.

Activist Amanda Nguyen and aerospace engineer Aisha Bowe gave the mission serious scientific street cred.

Many questioned: Where was the scientific gain? What data did it collect? Or was it all just optics?

Perry sang “What a Wonderful World,” waved a daisy, and even teased her upcoming tour while floating midair.

That daisy? A heartfelt nod to her daughter Daisy Dove Bloom—who made her public debut in a mini astronaut suit.

Emily Ratajkowski, Olivia Munn, Olivia Wilde, and Amy Schumer all subtly shaded the mission online.

Wendy’s social media team even joked, “Can we send her back?” under a photo of Perry in her suit.

In a not-so-subtle jab, Kesha posted herself sipping from a Wendy’s cup—rivalry vibes, anyone?

While Blue Origin claims minimal emissions, experts argue the steam exhaust still harms the ozone layer.

Perry’s 2015 UNICEF video warning about climate change has resurfaced—and fans are calling her out for hypocrisy.

Despite her past as a Goodwill Ambassador, Perry is now being labeled “performative” and “disconnected.”

Appearing alongside Aisha Bowe, Gayle clapped back: “It’s not a ride, it’s a flight—and it wasn’t frivolous.”

  via Getty Images  

“I’m seeing shade from people I call friends,” she added. “That hurts.”

The internet responded as it does best: reaction GIFs, parodies, and some scathing TikToks.

Katy Perry’s regrets clarified.

When Katy touched down, she dropped to her knees, kissed the ground, and held a daisy to the sky.

In a post-flight interview, Perry declared the trip was about “belonging, love, and taking up space.”

  via Getty  

Online users weren’t feeling the love—many slammed the pop star’s behavior as “performative” and “cringe.”

  via Getty Images  

What was supposed to be a symbol of female empowerment is now being called “tone-deaf” and “embarrassing.”

The $1 billion price tag, environmental fallout, and on-Earth antics are sparking online chaos.

Insiders say she now wishes the footage had stayed private, away from meme-makers and headline hounds.

“She doesn’t regret space,” a source said. “She regrets making a public spectacle out of it.”

  via Getty Images  

“Katy was blindsided,” said a source. “She thought this would be empowering. Instead, it’s humiliating.”

Before launch, she said the journey was to “show Daisy she can do anything.” The irony wasn’t lost.

Monday’s mission introduced Daisy to the public. But the moment has been overshadowed by internet backlash.

That floating daisy shot? The lyrical montage? “She wishes it had never aired,” the source said.

Katy Perry’s monumental moment backfires.

As fans continued to roast her, Katy pivoted—posting about her Lifetimes tour instead of addressing the criticism.

The Grammy nominee has yet to publicly address the drama—though her silence is making even more noise.

What began as a celebration of women in space has now turned into a masterclass in how not to go galactic.
