Basketball Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal weighs in on the recent space flying of Blue Origin.
Blue Origin was founded by Amazon founder and executive chairman Jeff Bezos.
O’NEAL mentioned the recently high-profile blue origin flight, which contained an all-kingdom crew, during a recent discussion with comedian David Spade.

O’Neal, a four-time NBA champion, suggested that the trip to space actually did not occur. O’Neal’s theory seemed to center on his belief that Bezos was never willing to send his fiancé, Lauren Sanchez, into space.

But O’Neal also pointed out what he thought were inconsistencies within a video -blue origin that was released. From the 51-year-old NBA analysts’ perspective, something in the recording seemed to be off.
“I know Jeff loves Laura. He didn’t want anything to happen to her,” O’Neal told the shovel during a recent edition of “The Big Podcast with Shaq.”

“So I think there was a certain green screen involvement there. It’s one. No. 2, their hair was luxurious in the room. Katy Perry’s hair didn’t move. Laura’s hair did not move. No hair moved. So I saw when they landed Jeff had the special key but it was already open. So I have to go universal studio’s green screen on this.”
Pakinomist Digital contacted blue origin for comment but did not immediately receive an answer.
Several celebrities attended the event last month, including Oprah, a close friend of King’s. The mission spans 10 minutes and 21 seconds.
Perry said the experience of going to the room was “other to be a mother.”
“That’s why it was hard for me to go, because it’s all my love right there. And I have to surrender and trust that the universe will take care of me, protect me and also my family and my daughter,” she said.
