Text on the meme

What it means

A social media post announces that the author will soon become an astronaut, alongside a quoted Blue Origin announcement showing six people selected for a spaceflight. The joke is that the author appears in the announcement’s collage, making a playful or misleading claim that they are personally going to space. It can be sent as a reaction to exaggerating one’s involvement in an important event or pretending a distant association is a personal achievement.
