You thought what some of the passengers, sorry, they want to refer to themselves as crew, from the All Female Blue Origin flight said was wonky? Well
Jessica Alba Makes Opinion on Controversial All-Women Spaceflight Very Clear
Jessica Alba has made her opinion on the controversial all-women spaceflight very clear.
A group of women, headlined by Jeff Bezos’s fiancee, Lauren Sanchez, made a trip to space. Sanchez was joined by Gayle King, Katy Perry and three others in a flight to space, as part of Bezos’s company, Blue Origin. The group traveled briefly to space on Monday.
While some praised the flight, many were critical, including Hollywood stars like Emily Ratajkowski and Olivia Munn.
“That space mission this morning? That’s end times (expletive),” Ratajkowski told her TikTok followers. “This is beyond parody.”
She added: “Saying that you care about Mother Earth and it’s about Mother Earth, and you’re going up in a spaceship that is built and paid for by a company that’s singlehandedly destroying the planet.”
We’ll get back to that in a moment
“I’ve seen endless criticism of five women doing their space thing,” Ana Navarro, 53, wrote on her Instagram page. “I can’t see how it affects our lives.
“I wish people would show [the] same energy and focus that anger toward fearlessly denouncing [President] Trump’s abuses of power. Which do affect countless lives in the US and the world.”
Alba, meanwhile, had a one-word reaction.
“This,” she wrote, agreeing with Navarro’s comment.
So, it wasn’t really so much Alba, but, Excitable Ana. Straight to Trump Derangement Syndrome. No one is shocked by this from Ana, right?
Why Katy Perry’s celebrity spaceflight blazed a trail for climate breakdown
…
But the backlash was swift. Fellow celebrities piled in to highlight the “hypocrisy” of such an energy-intensive endeavour from a former Unicef climate champion. Evidence was quickly presented to dispute the pollution-free claims of the Blue Origin rocket, which is fuelled by oxygen and hydrogen. (In fact, the water vapour and nitrogen oxide emissions it creates add to global heating, on top of the emissions from the programme as a whole.)
But it’s the negative social effects of this kind of display from celebrities (of any gender) that our research sheds light on. I’m part of a team of social scientists researching the powerful effects of politicians, business leaders and celebrities who lead by example on climate change – or don’t.
LOL, social scientist. And there are lots of articles slamming Perry, but, not so much the other passengers, er, crew members, nor Jeff Bezos. And plenty from years back slamming Bezos and Musk and just space exploration altogether for being Bad for ‘climate change.’ I’m quite confident I could find some back in the archives. These people are just anti-fun, ant-science naboobs.
Strange that they put her age on the story. Normally they only do that for criminals so they can be identified.
