Conspiracy Theorists Claim Katy Perry’s Hair Proves Blue Origin Space Flight Was Faked

Katy Perry’s recent suborbital spaceflight with Blue Origin has ignited a wave of conspiracy theories online, with skeptics pointing to her hair as supposed evidence that the mission was staged.

Critics argue that Perry’s hair didn’t float as expected in microgravity, suggesting the footage was manipulated. Comparisons have been made to NASA astronaut Sunita Williams, whose hair floated wildly during her time aboard the International Space Station. However, experts note that Perry’s brief exposure to microgravity and her professionally styled hair account for the differences.

Another theory centers on a clip showing the capsule’s hatch appearing to open from the inside before Jeff Bezos officially opened it post-landing. Detractors claim this indicates the flight was faked. In reality, NASA regulations require that hatches be operable from both inside and outside for safety reasons.

A viral image purportedly showing a mannequin hand inside the capsule has also been cited as evidence of a hoax. This image, however, originates from a 2017 Blue Origin test flight featuring a dummy named “Mannequin Skywalker,” not from Perry’s mission.

Some conspiracy theorists have gone further, alleging that the mission’s insignia contains satanic symbols and that the flight was a ritualistic event. These claims lack credible evidence and are widely regarded as baseless.

Despite the spread of these theories, there is no substantiated evidence to suggest that the Blue Origin flight was anything but genuine. The mission was live-streamed, and all available data supports its authenticity.
