Conspiracy theorists are criticizing Blue Origin’s all-female crew, pointing to the one specific feature they claim is “proof” the mission was “fake.”
Blue Origin’s rocket ship mission successfully launched at 10 a.m. EDT on Monday, April 14, from Launch Site One in West Texas.
Katy Perry and novelist and journalist Lauren Sanchez, who is also engaged to Blue Origin CEO Jeff Bezos, were among the guests.
Since the Soviet Union flew Valentina Tereshkova into orbit on her own in 1963, this voyage represents the first time an all-female crew has launched into space.
Unfortunately, the all-female crew was really in space, even though video from the incident was circulated online. A video showing Perry yelling.
As he lands back on Earth and Bezos face-planting mud is also making the rounds, but some social media users aren’t buying it.
