Olivia Munn Criticizes Blue Origin's Historic All-Female Space Mission

The actress raised concerns about the mission's cost, environmental impact, and societal value ahead of its April 14 launch.

  • Blue Origin's NS-31 mission, featuring its first all-female crew, is scheduled for an 11-minute suborbital flight on April 14, 2025.
  • The crew includes Lauren Sánchez, Katy Perry, Gayle King, Aisha Bowe, Amanda Nguyen, and Kerianne Flynn, aiming to inspire future generations and promote women's representation in space exploration.
  • Olivia Munn publicly criticized the mission, questioning its purpose, high costs, and environmental impact, comparing it to a 'gluttonous' spectacle.
  • Munn also took issue with the crew's decision to fly in 'full glam,' suggesting it detracts from the mission's scientific and exploratory significance.
  • Despite criticism, the mission is being promoted by Blue Origin as a symbolic milestone blending inspiration, representation, and cultural impact.
