Joe Rogan hits out at action Katy Perry did during Blue Origin spaceflight

Katy Perry was part of the world's first all-female space crew in over 60 years

Joe Rogan has criticised Katy Perry's trip to space aboard the Blue Origin spaceflight on Monday 14 April.

The American singer was one of six women onboard, with the likes of CBS journalist Gayle King, rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, activist Amanda Nguyen, film producer Kerianne Flynn and author Lauren Sánchez (also Bezos' fiancee), that blasted off into space on the 11-minute journey.

Those onboard only reached 66 miles above the Earth's surface, though this did cross the boundary known as the Kármán line, which is recognised worldwide as the point where space begins, around 62 miles above sea level.

But while some may have see the women-only spaceflight as a huge step in space tourism, others have been highly critical of the trip as other celebs weighed in on the journey.

Others viewing the footage pointed out that Perry may have been more concerned with the camera in front of her instead of being in space, while some have even started suggesting conspiracies about the trip.

While the crew have been mocked for a number of reasons, such as the fact that they 'barely' made it into space, Rogan has now criticised the singer, who kissed the Earth after landing and brought a daisy into space.

"It shows you how quick the flight was, the dead daisy that’s snipped from its life source was still alive," the podcaster pointed out.

During his podcast episode with comedian Tim Dillon yesterday (19 April), the pair poked fun at the flight and Perry's comments.

The host added: "It was very profound. I don’t know if you’ve seen Katy Perry talk about it, but she’s basically a guru now."

Dillon clarified that they were up for around 10 minutes, to which Rogan sarcastically replied: "Let's not minimise this. Let's celebrate female astronauts."

They also added that it was odd for the likes of Perry and Sanchez to be called 'astronauts', just a month after NASA astronaut Suni Williams splashed back down on Earth, after being stuck on the International Space Station for the best part of a year.

Dillon and Rogan didn't stop there, joking about the women complaining about the impact of their flight, with the former saying: "These b*****s seem fine though, these ladies," as Rogan continued to joke that they shouldn't 'minimise this'.

He explained: "Let’s not minimize the sacrifice they’ve made for a great nation, for the world, in fact. They’re profoundly different now."

The UFC commentator then sarcastically pointed out that male astronauts usually have a military background and are sent to space due to their achievements, unlike Perry and the rest onboard.

Perry has been criticised for her pre-flight and post-flight comments, claiming that she had been 'listening to Cosmos by Carl Saga', and even read a book on string theory in preparation.

The 'Firework' singer said: "I’ve always been interested in astrophysics and interested in astronomy and astrology and the stars.

"We are all made of stardust, and we all come from the stars."

Following her return, she said she was 'connected to love', adding: "'I hope they can see the unity that we modeled and replicate that and understand that we weren't just taking up space, we were making space for the future...

"And for me, like Gayle [King] said, this wasn't a ride, it wasn't a destination, it was a journey, and it was a supernatural one, and my journey has always been about love and belonging."
