Fast-Food Chain Wendy’s Mocks Katy Perry After Blue Origin Space Flight: ‘Can We Send Her Back’
Breitbart ^ | 15 Apr 2025 | Alana Mastrangelo

The popular fast-food chain Wendy’s mocked pop star Katy Perry after she returned to Earth following her eleven-minute, all-female Blue Origin space flight, asking, “Can we send her back?”

“Can we send her back,” the official X account for Wendy’s asked in the comment section of a post by Pop Crave announcing, “Katy Perry has returned from space.”

On Monday, the “Firework” singer joined Jeff Bezos’ fiancée Lauren Sánchez, CBS Mornings co-host Gayle King, former NASA rocker scientist Aisha Bowe, bioastronautics research scientist Amanda Nguyen, and nonprofit leader Kerianne Flynn in what was “the first all-female flight crew since Valentina Tereshkova’s solo spaceflight in 1963,” Blue Origin said.

The all-female space crew landed back on Earth at Blue Origin’s West Texas base after a brief, eleven-minute flight.

“I kissed the ground and I liked it,” Wendy’s added in another X post — in reference to Perry’s 2008 song, “I Kissed A Girl” — sharing a photo of the singer kissing the ground after returning to Earth.

“She was only up there for like 10 mins, right?” one X user asked in the comment section of Wendy’s post.

The fast-food restaurant responded with a quip, writing, “Don’t short change her, it was 11 minutes.”

“Good one Wendy,” another X user wrote, to which the official account for the fast-food chain replied, “I’m a woman send me to space.”

“When we said women in stem this isn’t what we meant,” Wendy’s added in another X post, replying to an X user who wrote, “The taste of her cherry starship,” again, in reference to the pop star’s song.

I can’t believe this stunt isn’t mocked by everyone, what a joke.

They were PASSENGERS. The flight was automated. Claiming you’re an astronaut by flying on Blue Origin is like flying on an airliner and then claiming you’re a commercial pilot.

It's bizarre when companies do things like this nowadays in this "there's no adults left" society. Seems like if there's stockholder they could sue.

Their Twitter/X has always been pretty funny and a little off-the-wall. They even sometimes troll the McDonalds Twitter/X.

That’s not a flight crew, that’s a bunch of entitled tourists.

While I agree it’s a silly publicity stunt. I believe the real purpose was to begin a trend to normalize space travel as a safe, fun and possibly recreational.

I’m sure all the private companies involved in space flight are considering ways to expand commercialization of space flight beyond scientific and industrial use.

Sending this “crew” up supports the idea that anyone can do it.

Yup!

Sending up a known idiot like Katy Perry sure sends that message!

While I agree that it was a stupid publicity stunt, I would give them some credit for courage. Space flight is not totally without risk.

Maybe not as dangerous as riding the subway in New York City, but not entirely without risk.

Wendys is by FAR the best of the big 3 fast food chains.

Baked potato. Bowl of chili. Two salads. My lunch for years when there was a Wendy’s nearby.
