Four-time NBA champion O'Neal suggested that space travel never really happened. O'Neill's theory seemed to focus on his belief that Bezos would never be happy to send his fiancee, Lauren Sanchez, into space.

However, O'Neill also pointed out what he believed to be contradictory in the video blue origins he released. From the perspective of a 51-year-old NBA analyst, something on the recording looked like it was turned off.
“I know Jeff loves Laura. He wouldn't want her to have anything happen,” O'Neill told Spade in a recent edition of “Big Podcast with Shay.”

“So I think there's the involvement of the green screen there. That's one. No. 2, their hair was gorgeous in space. Katy Perry's hair didn't move. Laura's hair didn't move. No one could move.
Fox News Digital contacted Blue Origin for comment but did not receive a response immediately.

Several celebrities attended the event last month, including Kings' best friend Oprah. The mission lasted 10 minutes and 21 seconds.
Perry said the experience of going to space was “second to be a mom.”
“That's why it's all my love, and I have to surrender and trust that the universe will take care of me and protect me, my family and my daughter,” she said.
