    I don’t recall Perry claiming she was an astronaut.

    This stunt, however, is a colossal tone-deaf, obscenely expensive, wasteful PR stunt while millions of people are terrified about their economic futures. That money could have gone to much better use.

      The person who interviewed her after getting back to earth said she was an astronaut now… teo very tone deaf dumb morons who played banter back and forth… Katy didnt correct the woman and was enjoying being akin to an astronaut title and thats why she is being dragged… And she deserves it.

        If that’s what happened then I don’t think saying she called herself an astronaut is fair, but I also don’t believe she or Gale deserve any grace after this ordeal. “Have you been to space? Go to space.”

          Go read the last part of my comment again slowly… Its the fact that Katy accepted the title until the backlash in the midst of the DEI fiasco and real female astronauts who had their names removed from public views a day before
