Joe Rogan savagely mocked Katy Perry and the all-female Blue Origin flight crew for their controversial 10-minute journey to space last week.
“It was very profound,” the comedian sarcastically said on Saturday’s episode of his “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast.
“I don’t know if you’ve seen Katy Perry talk about it, but she’s basically a guru now.”
When guest Tim Dillion asked what the “Teenage Dream” songstress discovered in space, he joked, “Well, she brought a daisy, which is super important.”
A photo of Perry, 40, holding the flower — symbolizing her and Orlando Bloom’s 4-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove — popped up on the screen.
Rogan, 57, quipped, “Look at her nails, so pretty.”
The podcaster teasingly said people shouldn’t minimize the crew’s brief time in space, saying, “Let’s celebrate female astronauts.”
He then listed the requirements to become an astronaut for NASA, including becoming a pilot, before being eligible for space travel.
On Monday, Perry, Gayle King, Lauren Sánchez, Aisha Bowe, Amanda Nguyen and Kerianne Flynn blasted off into space from Texas while decked out in blue suits and full glam.
They were sent up via Jeff Bezos’ rocket about 62 miles above Earth.
The crew immediately received backlash for the short trip, with actress Olivia Munn questioning the purpose of the amount of resources put into the launch when there are “a lot of people who can’t even afford eggs.”
Olivia Wilde also shared her distaste for the space flight with a photo posted via Instagram of Perry kissing the ground upon arriving back on Earth.
“Billion dollars bought some good memes I guess,” the actress-director captioned the picture.
Emily Ratajkowski accused the star-studded space team of “destroying the planet” in a heated rant shared on TikTok.
“That space mission this morning? That’s end time s–t. Like, this is beyond parody,” the model said last week, referring to the brief trip as “disgusting.”
Blue Origin was also trolled by Martha Stewart, Jessica Chastain, Kesha and Wendy’s fast food chain.
Sánchez, 55, and King, 70, however, clapped back at the haters during an interview with People, with the latter saying, “Anybody that’s criticizing doesn’t really understand what is happening here.”
“We can all speak to the response we’re getting from young women from young girls about what this represents,” the “CBS Mornings” host said.
Sánchez added that she was “really fired up” by the critics, explaining that “thousands” of Blue Origin employees “put their heart and soul” into the rocket.
