On April 14, 2025, Blue Origin completed its first all-women space mission aboard the New Shepard rocket, featuring celebrities and pioneers like Katy Perry, Lauren Sánchez, Gayle King, Aisha Bowe, Amanda Nguyen, and Kerianne Flynn. The 11-minute suborbital flight was celebrated as a milestone for women in space. However, it quickly drew criticism online, with skeptics calling it a “publicity stunt” and circulating videos claiming the launch was fake. While some accused Blue Origin of prioritizing celebrity over science, others defended the mission as a powerful statement for inclusivity and gender representation in space exploration.
