Olivia Munn Blasts Katy Perry, Lauren Sanchez for 'Gluttonous' Space Flight
Actress Olivia Munn didn't mince words when weighing in on Katy Perry, Lauren Sanchez, and four other women going to space with Blue Origin.
"What are they doing?" Munn asked on Today with Jenna and Friends.
The trip to space takes place on April 14, 2025. Broadcaster Gayle King is among the other women on the flight.
"I know this probably isn’t the cool thing to say, but there are so many other things that are so important in the world right now… Space exploration was to further our knowledge and to help mankind. What are they gonna do up there that has made it better for us down here?" Munn added.
"I know this is probably obnoxious, but like, it’s so much money to go to space, and there’s a lot of people who can’t even afford eggs," Munn said on the show. She called the trip "gluttonous."
She also said if the women want to go to space, "just go up there, have a good time and come on down," questioning the need for publicity.
Munn added, "What are you guys doing up there?" She compared it to Magic Mountain at an amusement park because the women are going to be in space for 11 minutes.
"New Shepard's 11th human flight, NS-31, will lift off from Launch Site One in West Texas on Monday, April 14. The mission includes Aisha Bowe, Amanda Nguyễn, Gayle King, Katy Perry, Kerianne Flynn, and Lauren Sánchez," Blue Origin's website says.
"The New Shepard launch window opens at 8:30 a.m. CDT / 13:30 UTC."
