“This is what I would say to this: space is not one/or, is two/and. Because you do something in space does not mean that you are moving anything from the earth, and what you are doing in space is trying to do things better here on earth,” King said Fun tonight. “What the blue origin wants to do is get the debris here and discover a way to put it in space to make our planet cleaner. Jeff Bezos has so many ideas, and the people working there are really dedicated and committed to making our planet a better place.”
King went on to add, “Have you been? If you were and still feel the way after returning, please let us have a conversation.”
“So, I’m very disappointed and very sad by this,” King told the criticism, pointing out that she has received messages from women and girls who are inspired by the crew of all women’s space.
King also called people who called the journey a “trip”, mentioning that, “Whenever a man goes up, you never said to an astronaut, ‘boy, what trip!'”
“We copy the same trajectory Alan Shepard did again in the day, “King explained.” No one called that trip. It was called a flight, it was called a journey, because a trip implies that it is something frivolous or something that is a light heart. “
“There was nothing wrong about what we did, and the car in which we were, and what it took people took that car and run, take us and get us safe,” she continued.
