I had a speech prepared but Elon threw up on it. One blue marble. One people. An infinite vista of opportunity with no beginning or end unless you can find Greenwich. But you can’t because nothing is marked. Earth is nothing like the globe in my study. You can’t even see “Pacific Ocean.” It’s longer than Peru — what’s up with that?

1

DeathMetalViking666 Apr 1, 2026 +1

From what I've seen of Ryan Gosling's humour, this seems completely like something he'd say. Utterly deadpan too.

1

WaywardWes Apr 1, 2026 +1

Yeah I totally bought him saying it with his little smirk.

1

Secret_Collection925 Apr 1, 2026 +1

That's exactly what I thought too.

1

Fake_William_Shatner Apr 1, 2026 +1

It would fit right in the Barbie Movie. Then cut to a scene where the are both taking selfies in matching sliver space suits. There’s even a moon bike for two, sold separately.

1

I_miss_your_mommy Apr 1, 2026 +1

I just assumed he actually said it as a joke since he’s got that kind of wit.

1

SDRPGLVR Apr 1, 2026 +1

And also the kind of charm where he'd have actually done it and come away making her feel positive about the exchange because boy did she face a lot of harassment over an activity almost all of us would jump at the opportunity to do. I mean she's a big enough celebrity she was probably shielded from that, but boy did the internet get mad.

1

I_miss_your_mommy Apr 1, 2026 +1

You know, that’s why he wouldn’t have done it. He’s funny enough, but by nature it’s the kind of derisive sarcasm that he’d have never pointed at her. He’s too nice to make a joke like that at her expense.

1

BonerPorn Apr 1, 2026 +1

I figured it was a real joke. Like he actually did talk to Katy Perry about being in space for a bit then jokingly played it up like an important experience. It would be his sense of humor.

1

wasabi1787 Apr 1, 2026 +1

Even if he really said it, it's obviously a joke

Seanspeed Apr 1, 2026 +1

I kinda hate the rhetoric surrounding this. They just took off on a f****** ROCKET and went 60 miles up *essentially* into space. For people not trained for that kind of extreme action, it likely would have been pretty terrifying and make you VERY appreciative of when you get back onto ground safely.

HurlinVermin Apr 1, 2026 +1

Oh man, I almost went off on a rant before I looked at the source. Thank the stars, I don't have to write Ryan gosling off as a moron, yet... However, in interviews and one in-person live event, he has referred to his character as traveling to a 'different galaxy'. No Ryan, Tau Ceti is not in another galaxy my Hollywood chum.

1

egnards Apr 1, 2026 +1

Not for nothing, but I'm not going to deduct points for an actor not knowing that an obscure star 12 lightyears away isn't in the same galaxy as Earth. For 99.999999999% of people living, it's completely irrelevant information. . .And practically irrelevant even for the role.

1

StrLord_Who Apr 1, 2026 +1

In this galaxy or any other, needing a "source" to know that this is a joke is patently absurd. Even if Ryan really said it, it obviously would have been a joke.
