NASA’s Lucy spacecraft just pulled off its second asteroid flyby and imaged a frankly tasty-looking rock: a peanut-shaped asteroid named Donaldjohanson. The oblong asteroid is a fragment of a long-destroyed space rock that formed roughly 150 million years ago, and Lucy swooped within 600 miles (960 kilometers) of it on April 20, 2025, capturing some seriously wild close-ups. “These early images of Donaldjohanson are again showing the tremendous capabilities of the Lucy spacecraft as an engine of discovery,” said Tom Statler, NASA program scientist for the Lucy mission, in an...

Saturday there was another nationwide Hands-Offs Protests, millions showed up once more to protest the descent into fascism, and whether it be media, podcasters, independent, influencers, social media, or other means of information, my timelines were filled with coverage of Blue Origins that happened on the 14th. Yes, there was the occasional posts filled with funny signs grab screens of the protests, lots of 60’ videos, but commentary was mostly about the failed PR messaging of all women space launch and a constant stream of belittling the Kathy Perry and...

Joe Rogan ripped into Katy Perry and her all-female Blue Origin space flight amid intense backlash over the brief trip aboard Jeff Bezos’ rocket. “Hey Tim Dillion, I’m much better now that the ladies are back from space, thank you,” Rogan said at the beginning of his podcast released Saturday. “It was very profound. I don’t know if you’ve seen Katy Perry talk about it, but she’s basically a guru now,” he said. Last Monday, Perry rode alongside former NASA engineer Aisha Bowe, astronaut Amanda Nguyễn, CBS morning host Gayle...

Beavers and Tampons and Dildos, oh my! Fox News host Greg Gutfeld wowed his guests and audiences with a series of genital-related cracks to mock Katy Perry’s space flight aboard a Blue Origin rocket, among other things. Perry was part of an all-woman space tourism crew aboard a Blue Origin craft on Monday morning for an 11-minute trip to the edge of space. The flight sparked backlash from the likes of Wendy’s and Ben Shapiro — and Gutfeld. On Friday night’s edition of Fox News Channel’s late-night ratings success Gutfeld!,...

The latest Blue Origin space mission sparked a wave of conspiracy theories on X this past week. However, one verifiable fact stands out: the all-female crew—some of whom are part of the Hollywood leftist cult—were technically not "astronauts." "We just completed our 11th human spaceflight and the 31st flight of the New Shepard program. The astronaut crew included Aisha Bowe, Amanda Nguyễn, Gayle King, Katy Perry, Kerianne Flynn, and Lauren Sánchez," Blue Origin wrote on X earlier last week. Late Friday night, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy addressed and dismissed...

On Monday, the 40-year-old singer was part of an all-female crew along with journalist Lauren Sanchez, TV host Gayle King, film producer Kerianne Flynn, former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe and civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen, who journeyed to the stars on the Blue Origin New Shepard mission. Since returning to Earth, the women have faced backlash over the flight, which lasted 11 minutes and cost $28 million per passenger. In an Instagram post shared Friday, Stewart, 83, uploaded a clip from a 2007 episode of "The Martha Stewart Show"...
