CBS host Gayle King responded to the proper reaction to blue spatial flight of blue origin on Tuesday and suggested that the crew of all women was being held to a standard than men who were in space.
The Show Show’s journalist and host was part of a historical flight on Monday that also held the fiancée of Blue Origin founder, Jeff Bezos’, Lauren Sánchez; Pop star Katy Perry; Filmmaker Kerianne Flynn; Rocket scientist NASA AISHA BOWE; and civil rights activist Amanda Ngyen.
The rocket sat safely after approximately a 10-minute flight. The high profile trip attracted some criticism from those who questioned whether the short flight was a valuable use of resources.
King responded to reaction to comments about Entertainment tonight on Tuesday, where she compared the blue origin flight to the historical spatial flight taken by American astronaut Alan Shepard in 1961.
“Have you been?” The king rebuked the critics.
“Please don’t call it a” trip “,” she added, claiming that people do not use this term when talking about men who go into space.
“We copy the same trajectory that Alan Shepard made again during the day, pretty. No one called it a” trip “,” King said. “It was called a flight. It was called a trip.”
“There was nothing wrong about what we did,” she added.
“I’m very disappointed and very sad by her,” CBS host continued. “And I also say this, what are you doing to inspire other women and young girls, please don’t ignore it.”
She also addressed liberal critics who complained about the environmental impact, saying that Bezo’s mission of blue origin was to find out if the rocket would be able to get waste from land to “make our planet cleaner”.
“Space is not an/or. It’S’S’S A two/and. And because you do something in space does not mean that you are moving anything from the earth,” King argued.
Model Emily Ratajkowski was one of the celebrities who put the flight on social media, calling it “beyond parody”.
“You say you take care of Mother Earth, and it is about Mother Earth, and you climb a spaceship that was built and paid by a company that is only destroying the planet,” Ratajkowski posted in Tiktok. “Look at the state of the world and think about how many resources went to insert these women into space. For what? I’m disgusted.”
King previously told critics at a press conference on Monday that anyone who makes the flight “does not really understand” the historical importance of spatial flight.
“We can all talk about the response we are getting from young women, young girls about what she represents,” she added.
Despite her sharp words for critics, King said she thinks that the reaction was mostly positive.
“This is exciting for so many people,” she told Entertainment tonight.
