Katy Perry has landed safely back on Earth following her historic space mission.

The singer joined Aisha Bowe, Kerianne Flynn, Amanda Nguyễn, Gayle King, and Lauren Sánchez (Jeff Bezos' wife-to-be) on the short trip to space, which lasted all of 11 minutes.

The expedition marked the first all-female space crew since 1963.

But some have argued that the flight technically didn't actually make it to space and only reached the edge. The Blue Origin flight, as well as previous ones, was launched 62 miles above Earth crossing the Karman Line - the 'internationally recognized boundary of space'.

With this in mind, some have been debating whether Perry and her peers actually went to space or not.

Away from the technicalities of it all, people have all been pointing out the same thing about the capsule's return to Earth earlier today (April 14).

In a clip of the moment they touched down, a commentator said they'd experience a 'very soft, soft landing', but it looked far from it. It also sounded far from it as the likes of Perry and King were heard screaming as it hit the surface. Upon doing so, a plume of dust surrounded the capsule.

Noting this, one person penned on Twitter: "Katy Perry is back and alive! No way they dropped them like that."

"The landing was CRAZY," said another, as third penned: "That was not a soft landing."

See the moment here:

Elsewhere, someone compared it to Dorothy's house falling out of the tornado in The Wizard of Oz.

Others discussed how short the flight was after there were months of hype about it.

Referring to her most recent album release, one person wrote: "Girl 143 was on the charts longer than her trip."

A second joked: "They rlly said 'ok slay now come back immediately' [sic]."

"That was quick," pointed out a third.

A lot of people have questioned why Perry was one of the six-person team to go to space, and it all comes down to Sánchez.

Sánchez was the one to put together the crew and explained to Elle magazine that she chose each of the women because of how much of an inspiration they are to others in their own unique ways and that they're all 'storytellers in their own right'.

"They’re going to go up to space and be able to spread what they felt in different ways," Sánchez added.
