So…

Gayle King and Katy Perry are being pleaded with by fans.

I must agree with everyone. These two ladies should not go up in Jeff Bezos’s rocket ship.

Not after today’s debacle as Elon Musk’s SpaceX sent a rocket up, up, and away only to watch it explode into a million pieces.

The other ladies set for Bezos’s trip include his fiancee, Lauren Sanchez, an actual scientist, and a couple of women with rich husbands. They can make their own decisions.

Katy Perry does not want to become like her song, a “Firework.”

And my friend Gayle would really miss a lot of great music shows after she’s scattered over the Atlantic. Plus, Oprah would really miss her.

Let’s get a grip and have NASA do the space trips with real astronauts and scientists. Musk and Bezos could spend all that money ending hunger around the world.
