Emily Ratajkowski had some strong criticisms of Blue Origin‘s all-female spaceflight with Katy Perry, which she aired on social media. Perry and the rest of the participants, which included CBS Mornings host Gayle King, rocket scientist and entrepreneur Aisha Bowe, Jeff Bezos’ fiancée Lauren Sanchez, film producer Kerianne Flynn, and civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen, recently concluded their brief space journey. During the spaceflight, Perry sang Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World.”
Here’s what Emily Ratajkowski said about Katy Perry’s Blue Origin spaceflight.

Emily Ratajkowski shared her thoughts on Katy Perry’s Blue Origin spaceflight via TikTok. She expressed disgust and accused the space tech company of destroying the planet.
“That space mission this morning, that’s end times s—,” Ratajkowski remarked. “Like this is beyond parody.”
The model then pointed out Blue Origin’s claims of caring about Earth, as stated in their mission statement, but countered that the spaceflight was “built and paid for by a company that is single-handedly destroying the planet.”
Ratajkowski then told viewers to “look at the state of the world” and ponder over the number of resources used to arrange the space trip. She then questioned the mission’s purpose and raised its marketing value. “And then make it like…I’m disgusted, I’m literally disgusted,” she added.
Ratajkowski is one of several celebrities calling out Blue Origin for their spaceflight mission.
Olivia Wilde threw shade via Instagram stories. She shared a post captioned, “getting off a commercial flight in 2025,” and commented, “Billion dollars bought some good memes I guess.” (via US Weekly)
Olivia Munn also called out Blue Origin for the space mission in an appearance on Today with Jenna and Friends. Like Ratajkowski, she questioned its purpose, noting how there were more “important” things in the world to deal with right now. She also labelled the all-female space journey “gluttonous” rather than “historic.” Munn also expressed doubts over whether the rocket fuel used for the mission was beneficial for the environment.
