Katy Perry's recent space flight aboard Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin rocket has ignited a flurry of conspiracy theories, especially after observers claimed to spot a mannequin on board. The viral image fueling these theories actually originates from a 2017 test flight, leading to misunderstandings. Despite the well-documented NS-31 mission and live streaming, skepticism lingers, showing how quickly misinformation can spread on social media, especially among those already inclined to distrust high-profile space missions.
Social media users who were already suspicious that the flight had been faked quickly leapt on this as definitive proof of their theories.
The viral picture which has ignited a new wave of conspiracy theories really does show a mannequin aboard the New Shepard capsule.
