Gayle King Upset People Are Calling Her Space Mission A 'Ride'

Posted • April 17, 2025: A lot of people are ridiculing the girl-boss Blue Origin flight just taken by space tourists Gayle King, Katy Perry, and Jeff Bezos' fiancée Lauren Sánchez. The entire mission lasted about 11 minutes, and Perry emerged from the capsule and kissed the ground. As our own Grateful Calvin reported in a VIP post, Perry said that her short trip to space made her "connected to that strong divine feminine." They're calling themselves astronauts now.

Do you think she realizes that there are actual female astronauts and that it’s not a male/female competition? Elon Musk and SpaceX just returned to Earth a female astronaut whom the Biden administration left stranded on the International Space Station for nine months on what was supposed to be a one-week mission. Being a passenger on an airplane does not make you a member of the flight crew. Same goes for space flight. You don't get to redefine words to fit your personal political narrative. The new wife in waiting of a billionaire chooses a vapid group of women to ride in his space shuttle so they can take selfies in space and I am supposed to call those women astronauts now 👌 Narrator: It was a ride. Gayle King is deranged if she thinks she is an astronaut. (…)
