Celebrities like Katy Perry seldom live in the real world and are in outer space on many an occasion. But this space cadet behavior is merely a state of consciousness.
So, what was Katy’s space trip like? What did she say after Fox Sports’ Charissa Thompson said to her, “Katy, YOU ARE AN ASTRONAUT! How does that feel?”
I feel super connected to love. I think this experience has shown me you never know how much love is inside of you — how much love you have to give and how loved you are — until the day of launch.”-Katy Perry
In one statement, What in the actual F–k?! Was she stoned on happy brownies when Bezos sent her up and his future Mrs. up there? Perhaps it was the psychological changes (AHEM) astronauts experience talking? A state of delirium for Katy Perry? But the argument remains…is Katy Perry really an astronaut?
Pop culture would probably venture to say yes. But, according to NASA, is she?
The term ‘astronaut’ derives from the Greek words meaning ‘star sailor,’ and refers to all who have been launched as crew members aboard NASA spacecraft bound for orbit and beyond. The term “astronaut” has been maintained as the title for those selected to join the NASA corps of astronauts who make “star sailing” their career profession.”-NASA
Transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy begs to differ as well:
LMAO! Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy just confirmed Katy Perry and Gayle King are NOT “astronauts”
They’re going to be BIG mad over this

The FAA’s definition, as revised in 2021, requires that commercial space flight crew members must reach an altitude of at least 50 miles (80.5 kilometers) to be considered astronauts.”-Federal Aviation Administration
Okay. The above definition was before 2021, when the FAA changed its definition of “what is an astronaut“. But wait, there’s more:
Beyond reaching the altitude, the individuals must also demonstrate activities during the flight that are essential to public safety or contribute to human space flight safety. This includes being a member of the flight crew and actively participating in the mission’s safety aspects.
The FAA also defines ‘space flight participants’ as individuals who are not crew members but are still carried on a launch or reentry vehicle. This distinction clarifies who is considered a crew member and thus an astronaut under the FAA’s rules.”-Federal Aviation Administration
I thought I'd include the educational requirements for NASA, SpaceX, and Blue Origin.
NASA: Bachelor’s degree in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics), often advanced degrees (master’s/Ph.D.); 2 years of professional experience or 1,000 hours pilot-in-command time…— Steve _J (@SteveJacob28883) April 18, 2025
I’m sorry. But if you told me that I was going up in space with, specifically Katy Perry and Lauren Sanchez, I would be afraid for my life. These two twits were more concerned about their form-fitting spacesuits and their make-up than actual safety procedures. This was a glorified carnival ride for them. They were more obsessed with taking selfies and posturing than the actual experience.
Furthermore, what does this “astronaut” definition say about true astronauts? You know, the ones who are stuck in space for months? Katy Perry did not experience muscle or bone loss or radiation exposure. Nor did she have the anxiety of when and if she would ever see Orlando or her beloved daughter, Daisy again. She had a definitive return trip. Yes, astronauts do experience disorientation but, we can argue that Ms. Perry was disoriented for quite some time before she was launched on Jeff Bezos’ gigantic phallus.
And who is the “flight crew”, according to the FAA?
Gee the Astro-Nut is showing signs of going nutty what’s to be done?
So the left figures out what a woman is but now doesn’t know what an astronaut is? I guess only so much will fit in their heads, with all the pronouns, racism and distorted history. What if we just compromise and deem them “Astrotwats”?
Did they ever figure out what a woman is because if they are calling those ‘ladies’ women then…..what are the pretend “women” ie males, besides mentally ill.
