In this episode of Jackalope Tales, Charles and Lisa aim their skepticism skyward and take on the conspiracy theories swirling around Blue Origin’s latest New Shepard rocket flight. Was it really a triumphant leap into the final frontier—or just an expensive bottle rocket launched from Jeff Bezos’s backyard? From claims that the “passengers” were actually AI holograms to whispers that the onboard champagne celebration took place in a Houston warehouse with a fog machine and some clever camera angles, the internet is ablaze with suspicion.

Join us as we dissect grainy launch footage, question why the capsule’s windows looked suspiciously like repurposed McDonald’s PlayPlace portholes, and debate the most damning question of all: if it really went to space, why did it land suspiciously close to a Buc-ee’s?

Buckle up, Jackalopes—this journey might not leave the ground, but it’s definitely out of this world.
