WATCH THE VIDEO HERE Did Jeff Bezos Fake That All-Women Space Flight? Twitter Detectives Think So — and They Say They Have “Proof” Jeff Bezos may have sent an all-women crew to space, but leave it to Twitter to keep both feet on the ground — and a magnifying glass glued to the receipts. Last week, the billionaire Amazon founder’s aerospace company Blue Origin launched a history-making suborbital flight that featured a women-only crew, including journalist Gayle King and Bezos’ fiancée Lauren Sánchez. It was meant to be a powerful, symbolic moment: women quite literally rising above. But now? Social media sleuths think the only thing rising might’ve been the production budget — not the spacecraft. A viral video clip is what’s fueling this latest round of internet speculation. In the footage, Bezos is seen using a heavy-duty wrench to “open” the spacecraft door post-landing. But watch closely (and the internet did — frame by frame), and you’ll notice something strange: the door appears to shift open slightly before Jeff even turns the wrench. Cue the dramatic music. One of the women inside quickly closes the door again — and then Bezos does the whole wrench-turning bit for the camera. To Twitter, that was enough to call the entire mission into question. “Why fake opening a door if y’all just came from orbit?” one user tweeted. Let’s be clear: there’s no solid evidence that the spaceflight itself was fake. The rocket New Shepard has completed several suborbital missions before, and space experts (yes, real ones) say the flight’s telemetry and trajectory looked consistent with past launches. But the questionable door moment has people wondering whether parts of the landing experience were “re-created” for media purposes — which, to be fair, isn’t unheard of. PR stunts happen. Especially when billionaires and headlines are involved. Still, it’s enough to raise a skeptical eyebrow. “Even if the flight happened, why add fake drama to an already historic moment?” one tweet read. “That’s what makes people side-eye the whole thing.” This isn’t the first time a Bezos-led space launch has drawn conspiracies. When he took his own brief ride into space in 2021, some users accused the mission of being “just a high-tech amusement park ride.” Now, the fake wrench moment has landed squarely in conspiracy territory — somewhere between the moon landing was a hoax and Birds Aren’t Real. Is it possible the door-opening was a staged “moment” for the cameras? Very likely. But hey, this is 2025, and Twitter is basically NASA for conspiracy theorists. The Wrench That Sparked the Conspiracy
“If this was really a space flight, why are they doing community theatre?” another joked.
One especially bold conspiracy theorist wrote: “This is giving more Truman Show than NASA.”Was It Staged — Or Just Staged for the Cameras?
Twitter vs. Reality
Final Verdict?
Does that mean the whole space flight was fake? Unlikely — unless Bezos really built a full-scale soundstage in the desert.
