Several women recently went into space for several minutes. This has turned into a spectacle, as the women aboard the spacecraft have claimed that this trip was historic and claimed to be members of the ‘crew,’ which has stirred up much controversy on the right and left.
● The NS-31 mission, marketed as a feminist milestone, drew significant criticism from prominent figures.
● Emily Ratajkowski and others question the mission's environmental impact and genuine feminist credentials.
● This space trip is seen by many as a tourist expedition rather than any actual significant feat.
Space exploration has often been a symbol of human progress and innovation. But does orchestrating an all-female space flight with celebrities like Katy Perry and Gayle King advance space discovery or the feminists’ goals? Blue Origin's NS-31 mission, celebrated in some circles as a feminist victory, has ignited criticism questioning its true benefits for women or space exploration.
The mission was lauded as having the first all-female crew since 1963 and first for Blue Origin, as a beacon of inspiration. Yet, the narrative swiftly shifted when voices like Emily Ratajkowski and Olivia Wilde scrutinized its implications. Highlighting perceived ‘performative feminism,’ they questioned the environmental footprint and unchecked vanity of the venture.
The backlash wasn't confined to feminist credentials but expanded to include environmental responsibility. Ratajkowski's viral TikTok critique, branding the mission "beyond parody," emphasized the environmental disruptions caused by such lavish enterprises. Her pointed questioning—"YOU CARE ABOUT MOTHER EARTH, BUT YOU’RE BOARDING BEZOS’ ROCKET?"—resonated with the left which is increasingly wary of corporate greenwashing masked as social initiatives.
Other celebrities and leftists amplified this eco-centric disapproval. Olivia Munn’s introspection—"What are you guys gonna do up in space? What are you doing up there?"—captures a broader sentiment questioning the genuine purpose behind the mission. The resources expended, she posits, might have found better application on pressing terrestrial issues, spotlighting a disparity between technological capability and ethical stewardship.
Headline-grabbing declarations of feminist triumph may seduce audiences but warrant scrutiny against actual advancements. The Federalist and the Conservative Review challenge the portrayal of such "feminist milestones," arguing they hollow out substantive gender equality discourse, rendering it a tool for marketability. Clearly, leftwing feminist and climate activists are dissatisfied with the way these women are trying to brand their trip into space. Simultaneously, many on the right have mocked the over-the-top displays from these women upon returning to earth. Clearly this stunt did not impress people on the left or right as many people came together to express disapproval of this space stunt.
