\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tWhen the star-studded Blue Origin crew rocketed to outer space, not everyone applauded.\u00a0 Celebrities including Olivia Wilde, Olivia Munn and Emily Ratajkowski criticized the Monday, April 14, launch, which marked the first all-female flight crew since Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova\u2019s solo spaceflight in 1963.\u00a0 The event drew widespread derision on social media.

King also called out people who called the trip a \u201cride,\u201d noting that, \u201cWhenever a man goes up, you have never said to an astronaut, \u2018Boy, what a ride!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe duplicated the same trajectory Alan Shepard<\/strong> did back in the day pretty much,\u201d King explained. \u201cNo one called that a ride. It was called a flight, it was called a journey, because a ride implies that it\u2019s something frivolous or something that\u2019s light-hearted.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cThere was nothing frivolous about what we did, and the machine that we were on, and what it took for the people to get that machine up and running, to get us up and get us back down safely,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
