Katy Perry Now Feeling Regret Over Jeff Bezos Rocket Ride

Pop star Katy Perry reportedly regrets being part of Blue Origin CEO Jeff Bezos' recent rocket ride, following major blowback.

By many accounts, pop star Katy Perry's frivolous PR stunt to ride Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin rocket to the edge of space backfired in spectacular fashion. Perry, who rode the company's New Shepard rocket to the outer reaches of the Earth's atmosphere last week alongside several other zillionaires, received major blowback from the public. There are also environmental concerns; while Blue Origin's capsule only releases water vapor as a byproduct, experts have pointed out that the particles can still wreak havoc with the planet's stratosphere and contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer.
