Astro-not! Conspiracy theories swirl about Katy Perry's 'faked' Blue Origin space mission
""I'd say this is the nail in the coffin. FAKE!" wrote X user @ColtonBuckJ. "Capsule's hatch is designed to be opened from the outside by the recovery team after landing, as a safety measure to ensure controlled and secure egress.""
""The girls opened the door to begin with from the inside with no tools," another commenter wrote on X. "They then waited a few minutes, and Jeff Bezos stepped up with some sort of tool and acted like he unlocked the latch.""
Online conspiracy theorists erupted claiming the recent space mission involving Katy Perry and an all-female crew was staged. Skeptics pointed to landing footage where the crew is seen opening the capsule door before Jeff Bezos does, suggesting a hoax based on safety protocols. Comments on social media criticized the cleanliness of the rocket as further proof of deception. While these theories gained traction, they likely stem from a misinterpretation of the footage or staged events for publicity, despite the mission marking a significant milestone as the first all-female spaceflight in over 60 years.
