Katy Perry Mocked for Joining 'Underwhelming' Blue Origin Space Trip: 'She Was Gone 5 Seconds'
"They fell as hard as 143 off the charts," one user taunted.

Social media users are mocking Katy Perry for being part of the brief Blue Origin space trip many have labeled as "underwhelming."
Perry and five other women formed a historic all-female space crew for the flight, which was facilitated by Blue Origin, a space exploration company founded by billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. Other members of the crew included Bezos' fiancée, Lauren Sanchez, and television host Gayle King.

Other users mocked Perry more harshly, comparing the short duration of the flight to their feelings about her latest album, "143."

The flight lasted about ten minutes, briefly taking the women into space before returning them safely to the ground.
"I feel super connected to love. So connected to love. I think this experience has shown me you never know how much love is inside of you, like how much love you have to give, and how loved you are until the day you launch," Perry said after the flight.
The launch event was attended by various celebrities, including Oprah.
