In what seems like an episode right out of a sci-fi comedy, Jeff Bezos and his space enterprise decided to shoot a group of feminist journalists and celebrities up into the cosmos, under the guise of space tourism. Of course, this was no top secret NASA mission, and the media had their eyes glued to the live feed like kids on Christmas morning. Since the average age on board was closer to a bingo night than a college party, you have to wonder if the return trip was as fun for them as advertised. But hey, everyone loves a good spaceship ride, right?

Now here’s where things get juicy. Skeptics have been screaming from the rooftops that the whole trip to outer space might have been more smoke and mirrors than rocket fuel and stardust. First red flag? The skepticism itself—there was no actual mishap, such as the capsule’s door supposedly needing a tech wizard to open due to pressurization after re-entering Earth’s atmosphere. Reports from the mission confirm that the NS-31 success was indeed a controlled and uneventful landing without any need for a dramatic rescue or heroics involving a toolbox.

The mission, including personalities like Katy Perry and Gayle King, certainly drew plenty of public attention. This collaboration of feminist journalists and celebrities, as planned, seemed like an effort to propel Blue Origin’s mission of turning space tourism into an accessible dream for the masses.

In an era where fact blends effortlessly with fiction, the event left many to ponder if it was, in reality, a genuine leap for mankind or simply a clever marketing escapade lacking any real substance. Whether you side with the skeptics or cheer from the sidelines, it’s undeniable that this story left everyone scratching their heads – and possibly, rethinking their next Amazon Prime purchase.
