We regret to inform you that the conspiracy theorists are at it again, and this time they've sunk their claws into the recent Blue Origin space trip.
These folks seem to think that the recent journey - which packed six women into Jeff Bezos's incredibly phallic spaceship and launched them into outer space for a few minutes - was staged, despite the many in-person witnesses and the live stream.
The journey has been controversial for a few reasons, with some hitting out at the opulent display of sending six people to space in a journey that lasted just 11 minutes, all while Lauren Sanchez hit back at the criticism.

However, others have different issues with the Blue Origin space trip as they think it's all been faked to pull the proverbial wool over our eyes.
The conspiracy crew think the launch was staged and the six women were actually in a pool of water with special effects making it look as though they were in space, and one of their claims hinge on opening the door to the Blue Origin capsule. Check it out:
Did you see their smoking gun? Nope?
According to the sort of people who think the Earth is flat and the ruling elite are secretly lizard people, the moment where they opened the door of the New Shepard capsule and then closed it again proves the whole thing was a staged scam.

In the footage live-streamed by Blue Origin, it shows the capsule parachuting back down to Earth before the area is flooded with people setting up a welcome for the six women.
It also showed Mr Jeffrey Bezos, one of the richest men in the world, kop a mouthful of desert dirt as he fell over while walking around the capsule.
They set up stairs outside the capsule for the six women to walk down and the door opened slightly, only to be closed again shortly afterwards.
ow, you can either think that this was them testing the door ahead of the big moment when the passengers on board the capsule emerge after their trip to space, or you can see them opening the door ahead of time as a sign that it's all been made up.

The conspiracy crew obviously chose the latter, denouncing the space trip as a 'Hollywood fake' and said they saw 'the worst CGI any of these fake space agencies has produced'.
Others whose minds are divorced from reality tried to claim the whole shebang was a 'satanic' ritual orchestrated by Bezos and Katy Perry, because of course they do.
Meanwhile, the footage taken inside the capsule would seem to knock over the incredibly popular 'Flat Earth Theory', since it shows a curve to the Earth.
Of course, if the whole thing was staged then that footage, the whole mission and these words mocking the theory are all actually part of the grand conspiracy to hide the fact the Earth is flat so nobody knows what we're getting up to on the underside of the planet.
For some people that's an easier concept to grasp than the idea that one of the world's richest people would be able to fund an 11 minute jaunt into space.
