Emily Rajatkowsi isn’t the only one to criticize Blue Origin’s first-ever all-female crew’s space trip. Olivia Wilde also took to her Instagram stories to reshare a meme and said, “Billion dollars bought some good memes, I guess.” Well before the mission, Olivia Munn also criticized the project, slamming the company for spending money and resources on the mission when there were other important issues to tackle in the world.
The Blue Origin’s all-women crew featured Katy Perry, Lauren Sanchez, Gayle King, Aisha Bowe, Amanda Nguyen, and Kerianne Flynn. The ladies blasted off to space in full glam and custom blue uniforms designed by Sanchez. The mission lasted about 11 minutes, with the team experiencing weightlessness.
