Katy Perry went to space for 11 minutes… or dId ShE aCtUaLlY…?!? 😵‍💫

Katy Perry went to space for 11 minutes. As Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin rocket roared, we were all left wondering whether she was going to be turned into a firework.

Katy Perry: the one that got away (but then fucking came back)

For 11 whole minutes, she was the one who got away.

Global temperatures are reaching record highs – meanwhile, billionaires and celebrities are more concerned with colonising space than protecting the planet we already have.

Each launch of the New Shepard shuttle costs around $5m. All that for a 11 minute round-trip?

But hey, maybe she finally got to live out her teenage dream.

Women in STEM?

Meanwhile, women working for NASA are literally getting fired while their bios are removed from the internet.

I guess women are only okay in STEM if they’re going to be leaving earth?

And it seems many people were hoping she would make her little space vacay MUCH longer.

One thing’s for sure, no one was singing ‘miss you more’.

You might even say Katy Perry was in, then was out, up, and then down – and all in the time it took most of us to take a shower.

It’s a shame Katy Perry didn’t finally meet that extraterrestrial boy with a ‘supernatural touch’.

Katy Perry: TGIT

But don’t forget, it’s all an iLlUmInAtI plot. Katy Perry actually spent the 11 minutes in a West Texas branch of Wendy’s drinking a baby’s blood shake:

Or maybe not.

What we are sure of is that 11 minutes is longer than a) anyone could tolerate listening to 143, and b) longer than anyone not a billionaire could tolerate a conversation with Katy Perry.

So, as tech bros (and girls) continue to cost us the Earth, maybe it’s time to update one now evidently overused rallying cry. “Eat the rich” seems pretty last year –  “eject the rich” though? Seems a little more 2025 to me.

For anyone who has seen the movie ‘Don’t look up’ – there is only one way this can end. Let’s make sure it’s a one way trip for wealthy parasites like Bezos.
