Lauren Scheme and Gayle King have responded to criticism on their journey of space.
On Monday, the two women flew into a blue original rocket with their famous crew, including Katy Perry, NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, civil rights activist Amanda Guayen and filmmaker Kerian Flynn. It was the first female-mission mission in more than six decades.
During a press conference after a 11 -minute flight, a reporter asked the crew of Blue Origin to respond to some nonsense and backlash against the journey. For example, actor Olivia Munn questioned the group to move into space, when there were many other important things in the world. ,
“I think criticizing anyone, not really understanding what is happening here,” the king said on Monday during the Q&A session. “We all heard it. We were also talking about it.”
Then he encouraged critics to “deep dive” what flight means for so many people.
King said, “We can all talk about the response that we represent young girls to young women what it represents.” “This is really a lot of work that went to get up and take us down.”
Sรกnchez asked to share his ideas about criticism, “I am really removed, a little bit on it.”
“I (critics) would like to come to Blue Origin and look at thousands of employees who do not work here, but they have put their heart and soul in this vehicle,” he said. “They love their work and they love the mission and this is a big thing for them.”
“So when we hear such comments, I just say, trust me, come with me,” he concluded. “I will show you what it is about, and it is really an eye opening.”
The rocket picked up the local time as part of the Blue Origin Mission NS -31 at 8:30 am. The craft flew through the space for about four minutes before swimming back to Earth, it took a little more than 10 minutes with the entire journey.
It marked the 11th human flight for the Blue Origin Program, which since 2021 has taken passengers, including the company’s billionaire founder, Bezos, into space.
After the rocket safely landed, the king told him CBS Morning The colleagues sung “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong.
Perry told reporters of her song’s choice: “I have covered that song in the past and obviously my high self is always running the ship because I did not know that one day I am singing that song in space.”
Meanwhile, Santhez said about his experience: “I don’t really have words for it. The earth just looked so calm.”
