Martha Stewart joined celebrities mocking Katy Perry’s recent trip to space.
On Monday, the 40-year-old singer was part of an all-female crew along with journalist Lauren Sanchez, TV host Gayle King, film producer Kerianne Flynn, former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe and civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen, who journeyed to the stars on the Blue Origin New Shepard mission.
Since returning to Earth, the women have faced backlash over the flight’s 11-minute duration and estimated cost. While Blue Origin has not disclosed how much each passenger must pay for a ticket to space, the deposit is $150,000 per person. The first Blue Origin flight was auctioned off for $28 million in 2021, per the New York Times.
In an Instagram post shared Friday, Stewart, 83, uploaded a clip from a 2007 episode of “The Martha Stewart Show” in which she floated in a Boeing 727 G-Force One airplane. She said in a voiceover she “experienced what astronauts feel when they reach zero gravity.”
“Do you ever feel like a plastic bag drifting through the wind?” the lifestyle guru wrote above the video, quoting the first line from Perry’s 2010 hit song “Firework.”
The post’s caption said, “In case you spaced out in 2007, Martha has always been ahead of her time.”
After Stewart posted the video, fans flocked to the comments section to praise the former talk show host for seemingly ridiculing Perry’s spaceflight.
“I would love to have them come to Blue Origin and see the thousands of employees that don’t just work here, but they put their heart and soul into this vehicle,” she said. “They love their work, and they love the mission. And it’s a big deal for them.
“So when we hear comments like that, I just say, ‘Trust me. Come with me. I’ll show you what this is about, and it’s, it’s really eye-opening.’”
