Martha Stewart demonstrated ‘expert trolling’ against Katy Perry and the Blue Origin ‘astronauts’ while posting a throwback Thursday reminding her fans of the time she experienced weightlessness on a Zero-G flight in Florida back in 2006.
‘In case you spaced out,’ the 83-year-old lifestyle guru – who boasts 8.7M social media followers – captioned her Instagram video.
‘Martha has always been ahead of her time.’
In the clip, Stewart (born Kostyra) expertly performed flips and push-ups as she bounced and floated through the air inside the only FAA-approved parabolic flight provider.
‘I boarded a Boeing 727 aircraft called G-Force One and experienced what astronauts feel when they reach zero gravity,’ the 10-time Daytime Emmy winner explained.
Zero-G – founded in 1993 – costs $8,900 per public flight for passengers, age 12 to 85, and they experience Martian gravity (1/3-gravity), Lunar gravity (1/6-gravity), and zero gravity.
Martha Stewart demonstrated ‘expert trolling’ against Katy Perry and the Blue Origin ‘astronauts’ while posting a throwback Thursday reminding her fans of the time she experienced weightlessness on a Zero-G flight in Florida back in 2006
For each of the 15 parabolas passengers experience over the course of the flight, there’s about 30 seconds of zero gravity.
Director Ron Howard used this same technology to film the weightless scenes in his 1995 film Apollo 13 with Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, and the late Bill Paxton.
By contrast, the Blue Origin ladies experienced three-four minutes of weightlessness at the Kármán line (62 miles above Earth) during the New Shepard NS-31 mission over Texas on Monday.
The six-person all-female crew also included NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, bioastronautics research scientist Amanda Nguyen, CBS Mornings host Gayle King, film producer Kerianne Flynn, and Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos’ fiancée Lauren Sánchez.
By far, the 40-year-old pop star has suffered the biggest backlash for being a glorified space tourist, whose 11-minute ‘joyride for the super-rich’ left a significant carbon footprint here on planet Earth.
Blue Origin spokesperson Bill Kircos told CNN on Monday that ‘some passengers’ flew ‘free of charge’ while others shelled out the refundable deposit of $150K normally required to start the process of reserving a seat.
Meanwhile, fans cheered on Martha for her Instagram post, including user @winedinecaroline who applauded: ‘Expert trolling.’
Instagram user @missmomiss12 commented: ‘I don’t remember Martha ever calling herself an astronaut.’
‘Martha Steward started the “Women Taking Up Space” movement,’ Instagram user @the.zanith quipped.

‘I’m hosting a lunch at my house,’ the domestic diva dished.
‘And I thought, I must use everything in the garden. So it is about beautiful floral eggs. It is about the first tulips from the tulip patch. And then finding the biggest, best chocolate rabbit! My friend Jacque Torres gave me that. Isn’t that great?’
