Katy Perry has faced criticism for her emotional reaction to the all-female Blue Origin space flight on Monday, April 14.
The 40-year-old had joined six renowned females, including Jeff Bezos' fiancé Lauren Sanchez, on an 11-minute suborbital ride.
Perry's speech after returning to Earth in Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos' commercial spacecraft, which carried Perry and Sanchez, CBS co-host Gayle King, filmmaker Kieranne Flynn, and NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, drew criticism from fans such as 'tone-deaf' and 'embarrassing'.
Netizens reacted quickly to the video that went viral.
One social media user remarked, "They truly believe they have done something amazing for humanity. "The egos are insane."
A second online user emphasized, "People can't afford their rent or even groceries, but sure Katy Perry in space will help."
One guy even questioned what accomplishment they had actually accomplished.
"What?? What's she talking about?! Did they believe they were heading into war or part of a mission to rescue lives? Another person expressed amazement and surprise.
Not only are online users criticizing the flight crew, but so are celebrities such as Olivia Wilde, Olivia Munn, and Emily Ratajkowski.
