- LOS ANGELES — Hollywood actress-director Olivia Wilde has reacted to Blue
Origin's first all-female flight crew making their way to the edge of space.
She seems to be amused with the space expedition, and is expressing herself
through the simplest mode of communication on the social media landscape, a
meme.
-
- Shortly after the New Shepard rocket returned from its round-trip
expedition, the actress shared a meme on her Instagram Stories featuring two
photographs of Katy Perry as she exited the capsule upon returning to Earth,
reports ‘People’ magazine.
-
- One of the images showed Perry holding up Daisy as she
smiled from ear to ear while walking outside.

- As per ‘People’, the singer took a small daisy into space
with her as a tribute to her daughter Daisy Dove Bloom, whom she shares with
Orlando Bloom.
-
- The other showed the performer kissing the ground after
stepping down a few steps. On top of the two photos was a text that read,
"getting off a commercial flight in 2025 #BlueOrigin”. Wilde shared the
meme with the message, "Billion dollars bought some good memes, I guess”.
-
- While Perry was the only one featured in the meme, the
trip to the outside of the Earth's atmosphere also included journalist Gayle
King, philanthropist Lauren Sanchez, former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe,
bioastronautics research scientist Amanda Nguyen and film producer Kerianne
Flynn.
-
- Before Monday's takeoff, others criticized the mission,
including Olivia Munn, who questioned its need while co-hosting the April 3
episode of Today with Jenna and Friends. Tuesday's mission was the 11th human
flight for the New Shepard program and the 31st in its history.
-
- “I know this probably isn’t the cool thing to say. But
there are so many other things that are so important in the world right now”,
she said as per Page Six.
