Mae Jemison, the first black woman in space, challenged CBS anchor Vladimir Duthiers for using the term 'mankind' instead of 'humankind' during an interview. She highlighted the significance of the all-female flight crew of Blue Origin’s historic mission, which included notable figures like Katy Perry and Gayle King. Jemison stressed the mission's goal of expanding societal perspectives on space exploration. Additionally, she shared insights about the value of viewing Earth from space, emphasizing how it broadens one's worldview and understanding of humanity's place in the universe.
"So it benefits humankind and I'm gonna keep correcting ... because this is exactly what this mission is about - is expanding the perspective of who does space."
"When you just look at it, when you go up, you get a perspective on this world that you can't get from looking down on the ground."
