"They didn’t even give us time to miss her"- fans LOL as Katy Perry kisses the ground after returning from her 11-minute flight to space

In a blink-and-you-miss-it moment, Katy Perry has returned from her year-long—err, 11-minute flight away from planet Earth. Yes, 11 minutes. And that's including the launch time! Her first action upon descending from the stars was to kiss the ground like a war hero coming back from the front lines, and the internet collectively lost its grip on reality upon witnessing the historic moment.

Katy Perry kissing the ground upon her return from space sends fans into a frenzy

Katy Perry had been handpicked to be part of an all-women space expedition, and she became the first pop star to get a glimpse of the cosmic verse. The moment itself was historic, but her dramatic gesture upon returning from space left millions debating the significance of her gesture.

The moment became a viral sensation as fans took to social media to express their disbelief, admiration, and hilarity at the pop star’s homecoming reunion with planet Earth. While many rejoiced at her history-making moment, others ridiculed Katy for her brief stay in space:

"They didn’t even give us time to miss her", joked one fan (via X / @Thaladehyde)

"She was there for a full song length…….", quipped another (via X / @yasscorrset)

Katy Perry's grand gesture became major fodder for netizens who produced all kinds of ridiculous theories to rationalize the moment, including one fan suggesting that she may have even encountered aliens:

"That kiss was personal, she saw something up there", joked one fan (via X / @HoneyGoldxx)

Katy Perry's performance in space also added to the hilarity as she became the first pop star to sing in space. Instead of choosing from one of her many hits, she serenaded her crewmates with Louis Armstrong’s What a Wonderful World.

While Katy Perry's sojourn to space was certainly one for the history books, not everyone was impressed. Some fans couldn’t help but roll their eyes at the theatrics as they took the opportunity to troll the Roar-famed star:

"Her kissing the ground as if she wasn't gone for two seconds", mocked one fan (via X / @eternalcumslimz)

"Girl you went to see the cloud. your as* didn't see the space sit down", ridiculed another (via X / @22wildflower11)

As is the case with every event involving a celebrity, fans turned the event into a meme factory. The social media landscape was frantic as fans took turns mocking Katy for her very brief stay in space. But it was not all doom and gloom on social media as many fans used the opportunity to reflect on life, and with their signature wit, praised Katy for giving the internet a relatable moment:

"NASA didn’t tell her she’d have to reenter emotionally too", quipped one fan (via X / @hvoltage026)

"She said “never taking gravity for granted again", added another.

As the internet went crazy debating Katy's motivations for kissing the ground, one fan hilariously compared her pose to WWE Champion Cody Rhodes':

Netizens have a weird way of celebrating victories as the monumental moment was marked by the internet going wild with theories debating Katy Perry's antics. Maybe she just came back with a newfound appreciation for Mother Nature, or maybe she just wanted a good photo op to celebrate the occasion. Who knows?

But one thing is certain: Katy Perry has set the bar unreasonably high for celebrity space escapades. If the next A-list celebrity goes and comes back without at least a tear-filled monologue or a new alien friend, fans will riot!
