Joe Rogan has some thoughts about Katy Perry and the all-women Blue Origin space flight — and he’s not holding back.

“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, 57, sarcastically said on the Saturday, April 19, episode of his hit podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
“Let’s not minimize this,” he added, after guest and comedian Tim Dillon pointed out that the women who made the Blue Origin space flight were “up there” for all of “10 minutes.”
“Let’s celebrate female astronauts,” Rogan brutally joked.
Perry, 40, made Blue Origin’s 11th human flight on Monday, April 14, alongside former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, activist Amanda Nguyen, filmmaker Kerianne Flynn, morning show host Gayle King and Lauren Sanchez (who is engaged to Blue Origin owner Jeff Bezos).
The flight lasted around 11 minutes and sent the all-women crew 65 miles above Earth, allowing for a brief moment of weightlessness before their return. Technically, they did not enter space orbit.
On Saturday, the two comedians argued that it was somewhat ironic that Perry and her fellow travelers decided to call themselves “astronauts” after such a short flight, especially in the wake of the long-awaited return of NASA astronaut Suni Williams, who was stranded on the International Space Station for 10 months before returning to Earth.
“Well, for now, let’s not minimize this,” Rogan sarcastically reiterated. “Let’s not minimize the sacrifice they’ve made for a great nation — for the world, in fact. They’re profoundly different now.”
After mocking Perry for claiming she has always been “interested in astrophysics and interested in astronomy,” Dillon asked: “What were her findings? That’s my question. What did she learn?”
“Well, she brought a daisy, which was super important,” Rogan sarcastically responded, referring to the flower Perry brought with her to represent her daughter, Daisy, who she shares with fiancé Orlando Bloom.
“It shows you how quick the flight was — the dead daisy that’s snipped from its life source was still alive. Was still vibrant,” he continued.
The podcaster was far from the first celebrity to criticize the all-women flight — everyone from Olivia Wilde and Gabby Windey to Olivia Munn and Emily Ratajkowski have spoken out in opposition of the trip and claims it was done to promote women empowerment and combatting climate change.
“You say that you care about Mother Earth, and it’s about Mother Earth, and you go up in a spaceship that is built and paid for by a company that is single-handedly destroying the planet,” Ratajkowski, 33, said. “Look at the state of the world and think about how many resources went into putting these women into space. For what?”
Perry, for her part, said she felt “super connected to love” after her brief trip to space, which included her singing “What a Wonderful World” to her fellow passengers while in flight.
