Female NFL reporter rips Katy Perry and Co over 'embarrᴀssing' Blue Origin space mission

NFL reporter Jane Slater has slammed Katy Perry’s recent trip into space, branding the Blue Origin mission ’embarrᴀssing’.

Pop star Perry was part of an all-female crew – alongside the likes of Lauren Sanchez and journalist Gayle King – that made an 11-minute trip into orbit on Jeff Bezos’ rocket.

Perry took a daisy into space – in honor of her daughter – and was seen kissing the ground after touching down back on earth. The singer said she felt ‘super connected to life’ and ‘so connected to love’. 

The event was hailed by some as a landmark moment but NFL Network reporter Slater hit out at the stunt on social media.

‘The whole thing was embarrᴀssing. So many smart women who worked their whole life to go to space and did the work,’ she wrote.

‘She (Perry) took a daisy and promoted a set list for her new album. If she really cared? Give your spot up to a young girl in the NASA program.’

Slater added: ‘Guess it’s ok for everyone just to care more about themselves and personal motivations these days. Very on brand (with) our culture shift.’

The NFL Network reporter – a self-confessed ‘sci fi geek’ admitted she would ‘love’ the chance to go into space.

But she claimed she ‘would absolutely give my seat up to a woman who has been pᴀssed over time and time again by NASA’.

Slater also took aim at how Perry and Co looked when heading into space.

‘I don’t think they truly appreciated the magnitude of the moment. With exception of former NASA scientist Aisha Bowe who absolutely deserved a sH๏τ at that flight the bs (bulls***) hair makeup and fits really annoyed me,’ she continued.

‘(It) just felt disrespectful to cosplay as an astronaut in full hair and a curated fit… I cringe thinking what (pioneering female astronaut) Sunita Williams had to think about it all. 

‘I also understand why they sent them to promote “space tourism” but yeah the self promotion was so dumb.’
