Joe Rogan mocks Katy Perry's Blue Origin space flight: 'She's basically a guru now' | Today news

Podcaster Joe Rogan mocked pop star Katy Perry and her crew mates after their recent female Blue Origin space flight, which calls the mission a glorified photo and lays down its importance. Joe Rogan said on a podcast released on Saturday: ‘Hey Tim Dillon, I’m much better now that the ladies are back from space, thank you. It was very deep. I don’t know if you saw Katy Perry, but she is basically a guru now. ” The Daisy moment Rogan has the decision of Perry to bring a daisy on board as a symbolic gesture for her daughter, Daisy. “She brought a daisy, which is very important. It shows you how fast the flight was,” Rogan said. “The dead daisy that was cut like his source of life was still alive or still alive.” However, Perry explained her choice with emotion, saying: ‘Daisies are common flowers, but they grow through every condition. They are resilient. ‘ Flight details and setback The Blue Origin mission of April 14 was fully automated and lasted about 11 minutes, crossing the Kármán line – the internationally recognized boundary of space – before returning to Earth safely. The flight contains Katy Perry, former NASA engineer Aisha Bowe, astronaut and activist Amanda Nguyễn, CBS host Gayle King, film producer Kerianne Flynn, and Jeff Bezos fiancé Lauren Sánchez. While the mission was a symbolic milestone – which made Perry the 104th woman to travel beyond the Kármán line – criticism as Rogan delayed the effort. “Let us celebrate female astronauts, because many men’s astronauts, they have to go to school, they must first learn to be a pilot, then they must join the air force or the fleet and then be appointed by NASA,” Rogan said. Rogan questioned the ‘astronaut’ title whether astronauts should be referred to whether Blue Origin passengers should be called. “They essentially came to the threshold of space. They didn’t get out of there like re -entrying is very traumatic, ‘he said. “How wonderful is it that they are just called astronaut?” According to the FAA guidelines, passengers can be recognized under the commercial astronaut -wing program, but must contribute to flight safety -something that critics claim is not the case with automatic tourist flights. Perry’s emotional reaction Perry faced an online mockery because he kissed the ground on the landing, but she defended the emotional meaning of the moment. “This experience is the second place to be a mother,” she told reporters. “That’s why it was hard for me to go … I have to surrender and trust that the universe will take care of me and protect me and also my family and daughter.” “I wanted to model courage, dignity and fearlessness,” she added. Rogan: I would do the flight – not “spatial space”, despite the Jabs, Rogan admitted to considering a suborbital journey. “I wouldn’t go to space space, but I would do the 80 miles,” he said, referring to the flight height of Blue Origin. The debate on the value of commercial space travel – and what an astronaut can call themselves – comes before celebrities join the space tourists. First Published: 21 Apr 2025, 03:11 AM IST
