Katy Perry went to space this week (yes, actual space) and the internet had thoughts. Naturally, the tweets and memes blasted off faster than the rocket.
The all-female Blue Origin crew, including Perry, Gayle King, Lauren Sánchez, and three other accomplished, high-powered women, took a short suborbital flight that lasted about 10 minutes, featuring a few minutes of weightlessness and a panoramic Earth view.
The mission aimed to inspire young girls and celebrate women in STEM, but reactions were… mixed.
Olivia Wilde posted a meme of Perry post-landing with the caption: “Billion dollars bought some good memes, I guess.” Others chimed in with skepticism, questioning the timing, the purpose, and the optics.
Still, the launch made history, and it made the timeline, so here’s a roundup of the internet’s best reactions to Katy Perry’s brief, but meme-worthy, journey to the stars.
