Actress Jessica Alba has shown her support for the controversial all-female Blue Origin mission amidst backlash from critics, urging fans to focus their anger on denouncing President Trump instead. The historic 11-minute space flight on Monday included Katy Perry, Gayle King, and Jeff Bezos’ fiancée Lauren Sánchez, among others.
Despite the mass criticism the voyage received, Alba defended the trip on her Instagram Story and reposted a message calling out the negative energy directed towards the women. Alba highlights the importance of focusing on real issues like Trump’s abuses of power, rather than criticizing the space flight.
While the crew faced backlash from celebrities like Amy Schumer and Olivia Wilde, King defended the mission by pointing out the inspiration it provided for women and young girls, and the potential environmental benefits of the trip. The team of women became the first all-female crew to visit space since Valentina Tereshkova in 1963.
Alba, who is a close friend of Sánchez, has been one of the few stars to support the mission, emphasizing the significance of the journey and the opportunity it provides for women in space exploration. The Blue Origin mission aimed to test the rocket’s ability to transport waste from Earth into space to help clean up the planet. Despite the criticism, King and the crew stand by the importance of the trip and its potential impact on future space missions.
