Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin space shuttle New Shepard became a trailblazer when it became the first to carry a celebrity into space. It led an all-female crew including pop singer Katy Perry, television presenter Gayle King, Bezos' fiancée Lauren Sanchez, NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, movie producer Kerianne Flynn, and civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen.

The flight may have been 11 minutes long, but it still managed to squeeze in a space for itself in the history books.

If NASA's conventional space shuttles are Leonardo DiCaprio, then Blue Origin's Sky Uber, New Shepard, is the Timothée Chalamet of space shuttles. It could be called a perfect space capsule because it did its job flawlessly. It launched seamlessly, went to space, and brought back all the crew members in one piece without leaving anyone behind (cough Sunita Williams cough).

But sometimes, things that work perfectly tend to look like something people love to roast. No one had a good look at the capsule before the flight, but when it landed back on Earth, people saw that Jeff Bezos had sent six people, including his future wife, to space in what looked like a giant Tic Tac with a dream of flying. This comment is a summary of what people think.

Fan reaction to Blue Origin Space Shuttle

Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin space capsule looks like a giant salt shaker from a distance, and anyone who wasn't aware of the event on April 14 but happened to see it might have been frightened out of their minds, thinking the Earth was Galactus' dinner that day.

But since Blue Origin's New Shepherd was carrying Katy Perry, it couldn't have been just any ordinary space shuttle — there had to be some swag to it. And maybe in doing that, Jeff overdid it a bit. He made a capsule that was the space shuttle equivalent of a "no makeup look."

While people might have thought that a billionaire's space shuttle would look like the USS Enterprise, they were heavily disappointed to see it resemble a camping tent.

Here’s what the fans thought of the space capsule. Spoiler Alert! They might make you laugh out loud, so if you are in a serious setting, it's better to step outside.

User @kag_land doubled down with this hilarious reply,

"Nope, Amazon Prime."

Then user @suemalibugirl entered the chat with a funny comment of her own,

"so close maybe Walmart?"

User @HermanHmechle shifted gears and took the roast to another level with this comment:

"I have a birthday party this weekend do they rent"

The funny comments kept coming, with this rib-tickling one from user @MickeySweet1236,

"definitely looks like a pop up tent"

This comment by user @NJPHINSFANATIC was a cherry on top,

"They used a Step 2 Mommy and Daddy Space Capsule"

Blue Origin is doing its best to make space tourism a real thing, and flights like the one Katy Perry took give confidence to many that if she can, then they can too.

The only thing stopping them might be the capsule itself, because no one wants to get out of an odd-looking spaceship and be accused of being an alien.
