Thoughts of Katy Perry in space 🚀 ?

That was a bullshit trip... like when Alan Shepard became the first American in space.

Their entire suborbital flight was only 10 minutes or so and had an apogee (furthest point from Earth) of 65 miles. An orbital flight is much longer as it takes about a minimum of about 90 minutes to orbit the Earth.

That 65-mile apogee is just past the Kármán Line (100 km or about 62 miles in altitude) which is where the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale and some other organizations define where "outer space" begins.

Statement about the Karman Line

The Karman Line is the 100km altitude used by FAI and many other organisations to mark the “boundary” of space. In the last few years there have been many scientific and technical discussions around this demarcation line for the “edge of space” and variance around this as a boundary condition for recognition of “astronaut” status.

...
===
From Google Gemini:
The Kármán Line is an internationally recognized altitude that marks the boundary between Earth's atmosphere and outer space, typically defined as 100 kilometers (62 miles) above sea level. This line is named after Theodore von Kármán, who first calculated that at this altitude, the atmosphere becomes too thin to support conventional aircraft flight.
===

So, while being beyond the Kármán Line may mean being in "space" to some, that's not really being in space much.

To me, you're in space if you orbit the Earth entirely above the Kármán Line which is right around the altitude when the atmosphere transitions from the mesosphere to the thermosphere. The International Space Station orbits in the thermosphere.

This article explains the layers of the atmosphere.
https://windy.app/blog/what-is-the-karman-line-where-is-the-edge-of-space.html

To me, real space begins with the exosphere and that begins about 400 miles up where there are few atoms of atmosphere left. 400 miles is over 6 times the distance of the apogee of the Katy Perry flight.

So, if "being in space" is means you traveled just past the Kármán Line, then, for all intents and purposes, that is like saying you been to New Jersey by visiting the Statue of Liberty and seeing the New Jersey coastline.

Not right to hate on her, but the tone deaf way they are acting. Female astronauts like Catherine Coleman, great achievers earned their seat on space shuttle and the ISS. Instead, acting like having lots of money is an achievement , and makes that makes them special. It's like me stepping off a trans Atlantic commercial flight and making Charles Lindberg speeches about the momentus accomplishment.. of a man crossing the Atlantic. Riding a rocket to where many great women have gone before and acting like it a moment in history. Just ridiculous. I would have no problem if they went up for personal experience and not for social media memes.

I’m sure is was an awesome experience if they actually went to space. But for them to make it sound like they made some huge, bold step for human kind, mainly for women, is ridiculous. The media made it sound like they were flying the spaceship. An all woman crew. It’s ridiculous. They were cargo, that’s it. It was all a publicity stunt, especially to promote women empowerment. It was staged. They opened the pod their self, someone else told them to close it so the personnel on the ground could open it for them to heighten the publicity. Just publicity to promote Blue Oregon.

Just more publicity for Jeff Bezos and Blue Origin, which needs it to compete against SpaceX.

Waiting for New Shepard rocket to take flight. Then we'll talk seriously about Blue Origin and space.

Oh, and one more example of 15 minutes of fame.

So glad we have money for this stupid shit, and having homeless people on earth that live in their cars or the street and don't know if they're going to be able to eat today.

This was clearly more important that using the money this cost here instead of going to any fucking good cause.

@sabinav Well, Katie Perry, thinks her ass is 'out of this world' so I guess the rocked trip is right on spot.  P. S. I would do that same thing in a heartbeat, if I had the money to do it. You betcha!

I feel relatively disinterested. This may change with the first NUDE woman in space?

Professor-college · Answer

It must have been awesome for her but I don't understand why she took that huge risk considering she has a young child that could have ended very easily without a mother due to the number of explosions in space travel

Stupid publicity stunt. I heard she didn't even look out the window at all and just looked into the camera for social media clout.
