Full Episode
There is truly nothing more unserious than a bunch of female celebrities flying into space in a dong-shaped ship while claiming that they're astronauts saving humanity. But alas, that is 2025.
So last Monday, we all watched as Blue Origin took its 31st flight into orbit with an all-female crew, which included Katy Perry and Gayle King, aka Oprah's best friend, because that's the only reason we know Gayle King, and Lauren Sanchez, who is Jeff Bezos' fiancée. And guys, this flight into space was propped up as some sort of
historic endeavor because this was Blue Origin's first female crew. It was the first all female crew that had ever gone to space since 1963. And because of that, it turned into a whole girl power movement. And leading up to this trip has just been a lot like I have wanted to talk about this on the show
probably for months at this point, but I had been waiting to watch this actually transpire to see what happened when they went into space before we did an all-encompassing recap. And guys, it was better than I ever expected. I mean, the actual trip, the fallout, the PR crisis, it has been... so juicy and incredible to see. There was so much PR. We had been talking about it for months.
Everybody was taking it so seriously because it was gonna be this profound and impactful endeavor on society. These six women being thrust into space. I literally thought that they were going to space for a few days. I thought that they were in training for months, that they were gonna go up to the International Space Station. I've never paid attention to the Blue Origin flights.
That's Jeff Bezos's company. It's space tourism. I had no idea what was going on, but I literally thought that this was a serious endeavor. But no, the trip was 11 minutes long. Just take a look at this graph. They leave Earth, they pop right up just into orbit so that they can look down and see Earth. And then they immediately come back down.
Like they experienced zero gravity and weightlessness for about three minutes. And they did all of this in a spaceship that literally looks like a Wang. Like even their graph here looks like just the tip, which is basically what they did. They just got to the tip of space and then they came back down. Like basically in less scientific terms, this was the flight.
Just the tip, just the tip into space for Gayle King and Katy Perry. Now, I will not knock these women completely. Like going into space is obviously not a walk in the park. Would I ever do it? Abso-freaking-lutely not. I will not even get in a helicopter. So there is no way that I would be throwing myself into space even if it was only for 11 minutes.
But this 11 minute trip is certainly not what it was made out to be, nor did it really have the impact that they hoped for. Because while they were screeching about girl power and taking up space and inspiring women, we have been making fun of them for over a week.
