US Gov’t: Katy Perry “Doesn’t Meet FAA Astronaut Criteria” <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The latest Blue Origin space mission sparked a wave of conspiracy theories on X this past week. However, one verifiable fact stands out<\/strong>: the all-female crew\u2014some of whom are part of the\u00a0Hollywood leftist cult\u2014were technically not “astronauts.”<\/p>\n

“We just completed our 11th human spaceflight and the 31st flight of the New Shepard program. The astronaut<\/strong> crew included Aisha Bowe, Amanda Nguy\u1ec5n, Gayle King, Katy Perry, Kerianne Flynn, and Lauren S\u00e1nchez,”\u00a0Blue Origin wrote on X earlier last week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Late Friday night, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy addressed and dismissed the misinformation and disinformation circulated by Blue Origin and leftist MSM, stating:<\/p>\n

The U.S. commercial space industry is an inspiring project which showcases American ingenuity and exceptionalism. <\/em>But the last FAA guidelines under the Commercial Space Astronaut Wings Program were clear: Crewmembers who travel into space must have “demonstrated activities during flight that were essential to public safety, or contributed to human space flight safety.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The crew who flew to space this week on an automated flight by Blue Origin were brave and glam, <\/em>but you cannot identify as an astronaut. They do not meet the FAA astronaut criteria.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Katy Perry didn\u2019t go to space. Blue Origin barely scraped the K\u00e1rm\u00e1n line, then fell back to Earth. No orbit, no true microgravity\u2014just a high-altitude joyride. It\u2019s elite cosplay sold as heroism. Total media-driven fakery. Agree? pic.twitter.com\/2m1XAJVrGE<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh you mean this video?<\/p>\n

Where the Hollywood girls open the Blue Origin capsule door, but then are told to shut it so Jeff Bezos can come pretend to open it with a tool?<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Elon Musk’s SpaceX rescued real\u00a0astronauts stranded in space for nine months due to the Biden-Harris administration’s dangerous political games.\u00a0<\/p>\n

PROMISE MADE, PROMISE KEPT: President Trump pledged to rescue the astronauts stranded in space for nine months.<\/p>\n

Today, they safely splashed down in the Gulf of America, thanks to @ElonMusk<\/a>, @SpaceX<\/a>, and @NASA<\/a>! pic.twitter.com\/r01hVWAC8S<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 The White House (@WhiteHouse) March 18, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n

Leftist corporate media provided more airtime on fake celebrity astronauts than on properly covering real astronauts recently saved by SpaceX.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

SpaceX has allowed the U.S. to lead the space race by years, yet the Democratic Party has waged war on everything Elon.\u00a0Attacking companies vital to America’s future in the 2030s<\/a> has led some to question whether foreign adversaries like China influence leftist radicals.<\/p>\n

Younger generations have shifted away from idolizing fake Hollywood toward looking up to engineers and pioneers poised to lead America into the 2030s and dominate the next frontier: space.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
