Joe Rogan brutally roasted the all-female Blue Origin space flight as he laid into fans fawning over their ‘achievement.’
Stars on the flight including Katy Perry and Lauren Sanchez have been mocked in the days since they landed safely on Monday, with many questioning the point of the flight as it barely touched space at 66 miles from earth.
Perry’s antics have particularly come under scrutiny, with the singer choosing to kiss the earth when she landed back before giving a ‘tone deaf’ speech about how the flight was a ‘supernatural journey.’
Rogan tore apart the songstress in particular for bringing a daisy with her on the 11-minue odyssey – a symbol of her utter vacuity. ‘It shows you how quick the flight was, the dead daisy that’s snipped from its life source was still alive,’ he said mockingly.
The commercial spacecraft carried Perry and Sanchez as well as CBS co-host Gayle King, 70, filmmaker Kieranne Flynn, 57, NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, 38, and civil rights activist Amanda Nguyne, 33, on the brief, zero gravity joyride.
On Rogan’s podcast episode with comedian Tim Dillon on Saturday, the two sarcastically praised the significance of the short flight.
‘It was very profound. I don’t know if you’ve seen Katy Perry talk about it, but she’s basically a guru now,’ Rogan said.
Dillon questioned the duration of the trip, saying the women were ‘up there what? 10 minutes?’, to which Rogan chimed in to sarcastically add: ‘Let’s not minimize this. Let’s celebrate female astronauts.’
The comedians added that they felt it was ironic for Perry and Sanchez to now be labelled ‘astronauts’, so soon after NASA astronaut Suni Williams returned from surviving almost 10 months stranded on the International Space Station.

Rogan and Dillon roasted the all-female flight for their over-egging of the impact of the flight, and compared them to the aged appearance of Williams when she returned from 10 months in space, including her hair turning grey.
‘These b*****s seem fine though, these ladies,’ Dillon said.
‘Well, for now, let’s not minimize this,’ Rogan again said, with a tone making it clear he was joking.
‘Let’s not minimize the sacrifice they’ve made for a great nation, for the world, in fact. They’re profoundly different now.’
Rogan implied that those fawning over the Blue Origin flight were patronizing female astronauts, sarcastically noting that male astronauts typically have a military background and are hand selected to go to space for their achievements, unlike those like Perry.
Perry was quickly ridiculed for remarks she made on her scientific credentials ahead of the flight, including claiming to have been ‘listening to Cosmos by Carl Saga and reading a book on string theory’ at the same time to prepare.
‘I’ve always been interested in astrophysics and interested in astronomy and astrology and the stars. We are all made of stardust, and we all come from the stars,’ Perry said before the flight.

Following Perry’s comments on her scientific skills, Dillon questioned on Saturday’s podcast: ‘What were her findings? That’s my question. What did she learn?’
‘Well, she brought a daisy, which was super important,’ Rogan responded.
‘It shows you how quick the flight was, the dead daisy that’s snipped from its life source was still alive, was still vibrant.’
Insiders told DailyMail.com after the flight sparked backlash that Perry has taken the criticism hard, and was stunned by the public branding her ‘tone deaf’ and ’embarrassing.’
‘Katy doesn’t regret going to space. It was life changing. What she does regret is making a public spectacle out of it,’ the insider exclusively revealed to DailyMail.com this week.
Among the most shocking reactions came from fast food chain Wendy’s, which responded to an X post asking to ‘send (Perry) back’ to space.

In her remarks that left some observers less than impressed, Perry said seeing the earth from space made her feel ‘connected to love.’
‘I hope they can see the unity that we modeled and replicate that and understand that we weren’t just taking up space, we were making space for the future,’ Perry said during an interview with Good Morning America, after she was asked how their mission can ‘affect change.’
‘And for me, like Gayle [King] said, this wasn’t a ride, it wasn’t a destination, it was a journey, and it was a supernatural one, and my journey has always been about love and belonging,’ the Firework hitmaker continued.
