Katy Perry in space!

All ladies on board and the girls are very giggly and emotional. 😄

And yes, that was the ladies screaming inside the capsule as the parachute depkys. The moral of the story, gentlemen, is to take ear plugs with you if you find yourself in a capsule dominated by ladies that are celebrities.

"This video is private" 🤷‍♂️

Not sure why. It was a Blue Origin video.

 

Try this...

 

 

 

They seem to be making a big thing about it being an all women "crew" but it was fully automated. Apart from floating for 5 minutes they were just in their seats.

NASA female astronauts come across as a bit more serious:

Whereas the Blue Origin female astronauts are somewhat more Charlie's Angels-ish:

They're living their best life, good for them.

Let us just make this very clear, they are not 'Crew' and they are not 'Astronauts' they are Passengers and they are Space Tourists. Just because you fly to Jamaica on an Airliner that doesn't make you a 'Pilot' or 'World Explorer' you are just a Passenger and Tourist

Correct. Calling them astronauts, according to a comment I saw from somebody on Instagram, is like calling a child with a toy stethoscope a doctor.

Sure she'd take me to the Moon!!!!

Instead of spouting pretentious nonsense, why don't these celebrity women contribute some of their wealth so that a poor person that's done laudable things can see the Earth from space.

Blue Origin is nothing more than a VERY expensive 10 minute carnival ride! 🎡 🎢

It does raise funds for further development, New Glenn etc. And Blue Origins long term goals. Namely, taking heavy industry off-planet.

Whatever you may think about these Blue Origin sub orbital flights, it takes guts to strap yourself on top of what is effectively a huge bomb, with all of the risks involved. If nothing else, I salute them all for doing that.

Fair point. Its the  pretentious way they are behaving afterwards and the media nonsense that's irritating people.

One high priced Carnival Ride! 🙂
