Noted rocket scientist and astrophysicist Katy Perry has criticised the apparent lack of return trajectory for the Blue Origin space rocket.
A spokeswoman said, 'Katy has crunched the numbers, and she’s not happy with the rocket's thrust or fuel burn rates. She would also like to know how best to make her space suit a bit sluttier – what with all the thrusting. If she makes it back, hopefully she'll be able to describe space without using the word 'girl-boss', but let's see.'
Divorce lawyer Karolina Krychowiak said, 'Divorce number 1 cost Bezos $38 billion, so to avoid divorce number 2 he’s going to fire his girlfriend and some collateral damage, into the depths of space. That's cold - and I'm not talking about the depths of space.'
Old school sexist Derek Drummond dribbled, 'They’ve got all of space, but I bet those women still won’t be able to park.' Drummond went suspiciously quiet when shown a photo of Perry in her newly altered space suit.

Alongside Santa Claus and good dental hygiene, the British people are unaware that the US put a man on the moon in 1969. Such is their level of denial, a UK consortium plans to land a robotic probe on the moon, making them more out of date than VCRs, travel agents or saying ‘toats’ to a teenage girl.

 The elaborate media blackout has kept the UK hermetically sealed for the last 45 years, despite the fact that North Korea had established a thriving moon colony in 1994. The Astronomer Royal said: ‘Britain plans to be the first on the moon. And we reject the suggestion that key facts have been hidden from us. The moon is made of cheese. There are monsters living under the bed. And, as Nanny says, if I swallow an apple seed, a tree will grow out of my ear.’
