Los Angeles, April 15 (NationPress) Hollywood actress-director Olivia Wilde has shared her thoughts on Blue Origin's inaugural all-female flight crew that ventured to the edge of space. She appears to find the space journey amusing, conveying her reaction through a popular medium on social media—a meme.
A short while after the New Shepard rocket completed its round-trip journey, Wilde posted a meme on her Instagram Stories showcasing two images of Katy Perry as she emerged from the capsule post-landing, according to reports from People magazine.
One image depicted Perry joyfully holding a small daisy while exiting, a gesture dedicated to her daughter Daisy Dove Bloom, whom she has with Orlando Bloom.
The second photo captured her kissing the ground after descending a few steps. Accompanying these images was a caption that read, "getting off a commercial flight in 2025 #BlueOrigin.” Wilde added her own commentary, stating, "Billion dollars bought some good memes, I guess."
Though Perry was the sole focus of the meme, the journey beyond Earth's atmosphere also included journalist Gayle King, philanthropist Lauren Sanchez, former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, bioastronautics research scientist Amanda Nguyen, and film producer Kerianne Flynn.
Prior to the Monday launch, some expressed skepticism about the mission, including Olivia Munn, who questioned its relevance while co-hosting the April 3 episode of Today with Jenna and Friends. This mission marked the 11th human flight for the New Shepard program and the 31st in its history.
"I know this probably isn’t the cool thing to say. But there are so many other things that are so important in the world right now," Munn remarked, as quoted by Page Six.
Actress Emily Ratajkowski also voiced her concerns, stating in a TikTok video, "That’s end time s***. Like, this is beyond parody."
