Some of the online memes are hilarious. As for Bezos being domiciled in FL, it makes a lot of sense. I've had layovers at the Seattle airport and noticed that most of the people dress like they're survivalist camping off the grid. Hard to see Lauren doing that. Since professional athletes and celebrities have always attracted lots of women throwing themselves at them, I think Jeffy and other billionaires are likely accustomed to aggressive attention. Certainly Lauren is no shrinking violet and probably keeps an eagle eye on any "threats" . As for the all women space crew passenger log, who cares? Blue Origin offers a minutes long ride to anyone who can pay. Like an expensive roller coaster ride. You don't drive the capsule, you don't have to calculate anything, just sit there. And the matching body con "uniforms"? Please. But whatever. Bezos has the bucks to do anything he wants, if it made him happy, good for him. It does make one wonder how over the top their wedding will be.

Living here, I can attest that this is true. :biggrin:

What's amazing is that there is a good-sized Hermes, Bottega Veneta, and Prada, and an enormous Gucci and Louis Vuitton, just across the lake from Seattle, and I wonder why I don't see more of these bags and accessories in the wild but, nope. To get back on topic, Lauren Sanchez would have at least had some good places to shop if she did ever spend time here lol. But, she's definitely more a Miami person than a Seattle person.

Lots of newly rich techies with money to burn. I was not surprised to see Hermes in Bellevue some years ago. LS is RH of Miami material.

Funny! Can't fool the internet sleuths.

I'm going with they reenacted the arrival to make it look better for the cameras. This is Hollywood after all.

Earth to the internet!

Online conspiracy theorists blasted off Wednesday over supposed “proof” that the all-female Blue Origin crew “faked” their mission to space earlier this week.

Using tin-hat logic, skeptics pointed to landing footage that shows the celebrity space travelers opening the capsule’s door — minutes before its owner, Amazon boss Jeff Bezos, proudly twisted it open with a wrench-like tool.

Skeptics said it wasn’t possible to open the rocket from the inside.

Social media users seized the moment as evidence that the mission was a hoax, insisting the rocket can only be opened from the outside due to “safety protocols” and a pressurized cabin.

“Capsule’s hatch is designed to be opened from the outside by the recovery team after landing, as a safety measure to ensure controlled and secure egress,” he proclaimed in the viral X post.

Other out-of-this world conspiracies include that the rocket was “too clean” and unscathed to have soared to the cosmos and back.

“It was fake. The girls opened the door to begin with from the inside with no tools,” another commenter wrote on X.

“They then waited a few minutes, and Jeff Bezos stepped up with some sort of tool and acted like he unlocked the latch.”

“Doesn’t look like a pressurized hatch to me” another observer wrote — as another declared the mission was “faked by Overlord Bezos.”

But the footage may have simply been a publicity stunt gaffe in which honchos staged a second, more polished arrival scene without getting rid of proof that it was tightly choreographed.

Astro-not! Conspiracy theories swirl about Katy Perry’s ‘faked’ Blue Origin space mission

“I’d say this is the nail in the coffin. FAKE!” one skeptic wrote in a viral tweet.

I've gone on roller coasters (ages ago). They were fun but not life changing. The way Perry and King carry on about their 11 minutes in the air you'd think they stared death in the face, fought off armed enemies with their bare hands and discovered cures for ten diseases. Without messing their hair or wrinkling their scuba suits! Due to their astonishing bravery I am relieved to know that if I go into space, my makeup will not be affected! Whew!

I'll put this here because it relates to Sanchez and fellow rich/privileged celebs who went on a 10 minute joy ride into almost space. As if dear Gayle or Sanchez could actually fix something or take control of anything should it go wrong.

But she still calls herself an astronaut. I wonder if Sanchez is as stupid and clueless as Gayle? I bet not.

To be that delulu, it has nothing to do with being a woman, Gayle.
Notice that the other participants are not as mocked besides Lauren.
It was a ride.
Was data collected?
Maybe, but it could have been unmanned and still collects the data, imo.
I have always liked Gayle because she is down to earth, can read the news but I can’t agree with her on that one.
Even Nate made fun of her and her space suit. And he is one of the most mild mannered anchor out there.

From now on, I am calling myself a sailor, a pilot, an athlete, an artist, a supermodel and on and on.
