A recent space launch by Blue Origin, featuring celebrities like Katy Perry and Gayle King, faced significant criticism for being a publicity stunt. Despite the crew's claims of inspiring young women, many commentators pointed out the lack of scientific value and the character of the endeavor as merely extravagant. Gayle King and Lauren Sánchez defended the mission, citing positive fan responses, while other celebrities like Olivia Wilde and Amy Schumer lambasted the event for its superficiality and questioned its contributions to humanity's understanding of space.
"We can all speak to the response we're getting from young women, from young girls, about what this represents." - Gayle King
"Billion dollars bought some good memes I guess," actor Olivia Wilde wrote. "What are they gonna do up there that has made it better for us down here?"
Criticism got me 'fired up', said Lauren Sánchez. "Blue Origin employees had put their heart and soul into this vehicle."
