Katy Perry’s recent space trip with Blue Origin, framed as a feminist statement, has drawn criticism for being a superficial publicity stunt rather than a genuine contribution to women’s empowerment in science.
Katy Perry goes to space – and no one is happy about it! There is heavy coverage of the backlash facing the all-female Blue Origin space flight yesterday, which saw Katy Perry and other celebrities go to space. On the front pages, the coverage is heavily focused on Perry’s reaction to the trip, whilst online (and more recent) publications report on the trip with scepticism, suggesting the trip was a “publicity stunt” and a waste of time and money when instead, real female astronauts should have been sent. There has also been a lot of negative reactions from celebrities who, like the journalists, question why Katy Perry – and the other Hollywood stars – was given a seat on this flight.
Katy Perry and five other women made history as the first all-female space crew in over sixty years, launching aboard a Blue Origin rocket from West Texas.
