Katy Perry’s space trip aboard a Blue Origin rocket might have been brief, but it sparked a big buzz. Her 11-minute venture into the edge of space garnered tons of media attention.
Celebrities are now increasingly involved in space travel, and Perry’s adventure was no exception, leaving many people wondering about the growing trend of commercial space travel.
Martha Stewart’s Throwback Moment
But amidst the fanfare surrounding Perry’s flight, Martha Stewart quietly stepped into the spotlight with a classic example of subtle shade.
Stewart, known for her elegance and sharp wit, took the opportunity to remind everyone that she, too, had experienced zero gravity – just over a decade earlier. A 2006 clip of Stewart’s zero-gravity flight resurfaced online, sparking a wave of discussion.
Was this a coincidence, or a calculated move? Timing is everything, and Stewart’s resurfaced footage certainly made people pause and ask, “Was that a dig?”
It’s not the first time Stewart has turned the tables with subtlety. Instead of directly commenting on Perry’s flight, she let the footage speak for itself. It’s a masterclass in the art of the “subtweet,” where an indirect message says more than words ever could.

Why This Matters: The Shift in Space Travel
But beyond the entertainment value of a celebrity feud (or at least, a well-timed reminder), this moment speaks to a larger shift in the world of space exploration.
Space travel, once reserved for astronauts and highly trained professionals, is increasingly becoming the playground of the rich and famous. As commercial space travel becomes a reality, more celebrities are expected to take part, and the comparisons between “who was first” will only grow.
This subtle one-upmanship is a sign of the times. The race to space is no longer purely about scientific achievement. It’s about who can get there first, who has the best story to tell, and yes, who can claim the title of the ultimate trendsetter.
Just like the early days of social media influencers, the new frontier is space travel – and the stars are lining up to make their mark.
Subtle Shade in the Age of Social Media
Martha Stewart’s zero-gravity flight was far ahead of its time, but now, as space tourism gains momentum, everyone is eager to jump on the bandwagon.
Perry’s flight, like those of other celebrities, represents not just a personal achievement, but a media spectacle. While the world focuses on these fleeting trips to the edge of space, Stewart’s quiet nod to her own history reminds us that true trendsetters often don’t need to shout.
In an age of constant media cycles, it’s often the indirect moments that leave a lasting impact. Stewart’s resurfaced clip is a subtle reminder of who was first – and in the world of celebrities, sometimes, being “first” can mean everything.

A New Celebrity Space Race
So, what does this all mean? In the grand scheme of things, probably not much. But, in the celebrity world, every subtle hint matters. As more celebrities launch themselves into the vast expanse of space, the competition for recognition will intensify.
The stars of the future may very well be those who simply know how to make the quietest, most sophisticated mark in this new space race. Whether it’s in space or with a perfectly crafted recipe, we all want to be the ones who were ahead of the curve.
