And here we go

Conspiracy theorists seize on Blue Origin door gaffe - and claim it's 'definitive proof' that Katy Perry's mission was FAKE
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-14617279/Conspiracy-theorists-Blue-Origin-door.html

Quote
A bizarre gaffe has ignited online conspiracy theories about Katy Perry's flight into space with Blue Origin.

After the New Shepard capsule landed, Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos proudly wrenched open the hatch with a specialised tool to greet the all-female crew.

However, footage from just minutes earlier clearly shows the capsule door being opened from the inside before being hastily shut.

Quote
The more likely explanation for the hurried closure is simply that they had spoiled a photo opportunity with Jeff Bezos opening the door from the outside.

Yep, but that hasn't stopped the conspiracy theories about the flight being faked
Despite what many are saying the doors are designed so that they can be opened from the inside

and then we got this



Quote
Many commenters on X believed that the mission was part of an elaborate satanic or occult ritual led by Katy Perry.

On X, one commenter wrote: 'Katy Perry, one of the biggest industries occult promoter, is one of the signs this is fake.'

Another added: 'Satanic rituals in the middle of Passover to show they mock God, what else would Katy Perry and co be doing at the week of Passover?'

And then go they on about the patch

A large explosion of some sort demolished a building early this morning at Northrop Grumman’s solid rocket testing facility in Promontory, Utah.

So far, no injuries have been reported. Folks living near the area say the blast shook their homes.

Gayle King says she finds it "disrespectful" that their Blue Origin space flight is being called "a ride."

So what did you do other than ride?

I don't know why y'all are downplaying this. We now know that women can survive the harsh conditions of space. This is groundbreaking. Because the patriarchy has never before allowed women to go to space, much less to design, build, launch, pilot, and land a spacecraft before, we never knew it was possible.

Why do you people hate these brave heroines?

Bet if you ask many collage age kids now who the first woman in space was I would bet money most would answer Katy Perry.

At 2nd stage startup she went wobbly for a bit but then righted. At SECO she then went wobbly again and appeared to be going into a spin right before the video cut.

Firefly Aerospace
@Firefly_Space
Following a nominal liftoff of Firefly’s Alpha rocket, there was a mishap during first stage separation for the FLTA006 mission that impacted the Stage 2 Lightning engine nozzle, putting the vehicle in a lower than planned orbit. We are working with our Lockheed Martin customer, the Space Force, and FAA to conduct a thorough investigation and determine the root cause. As more information is available, we will be providing updates here: https://fireflyspace.com/missions/alpha
