Olivia Munn is voicing her concerns regarding Blue Origin’s upcoming all-female space expedition. This flight, set for April 14, features a notable crew including music superstar Katy Perry, journalist Gayle King, and philanthropist Lauren Sanchez, and has garnered a lot of attention for being the first of its kind organized by the company founded by Jeff Bezos.

Blue Origin has billed this mission as a historic milestone in space travel, marking it as the 11th manned mission for its New Shepard spacecraft, which will take passengers 62 miles above Earth to the Kármán line. The crew recently graced the cover of Elle magazine, fueling conversations about the implications of such high-profile space tourism.

However, during a recent co-hosting stint on the TODAY show, Munn expressed her skepticism. Addressing co-host Jenna Bush Hager, she questioned the necessity of the expedition, stating, “What are they doing? Like, why? There are so many pressing issues in the world right now. What are you guys going to do up in space?”

Bush Hager noted that the flight duration is a brief 11 minutes, to which Munn humorously responded, “So you’re on, like, Magic Mountain,” implying that the experience may not be as groundbreaking as advertised. Munn further criticized the extravagance of the mission, highlighting the disparity between the wealth of its participants and the struggles faced by everyday people. “There’s a lot of people who can’t even afford eggs,” she remarked, questioning the ethical implications of such a lavish venture into space.

As excitement builds, both King and Perry have varied feelings about the mission. King admitted to anxiety about the flight, while Perry, showing confidence, stated she was “not nervous at all.” Despite the glamor associated with the trip, Munn remained puzzled by the decision to turn it into a media spectacle, exclaiming, “What’s the point? Is it historic just because you guys are going on a ride?”

Munn also raised concerns about the environmental impact of rocket launches, reminding viewers that space exploration should be about advancing knowledge and benefiting humanity, questioning, “What are they gonna do up there that has made it better for us down here?”

Alongside Perry, King, and Sanchez, the crew will also include former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, research pioneer Amanda Nguyen, and film producer Kerianne Flynn. As the launch date approaches, many are left wondering if this mission truly contributes to the greater good or simply serves as an extravagant public relations stunt.
