Olivia Munn is not impressed with Lauren Sánchez’s “gluttonous” all-female space flight, she said during a Thursday appearance on Today. “I know this is not the cool thing to say, but there are so many other things that are so important in the world right now. What are you guys going to do up in space?” she said. “And by the way, why do you need to tell us about it? You know? Just go up there, have a good time, come on down.” She also guffawed at the money the highly publicized event will cost. “It’s so much money to go to space. There’s a lot of people who can’t even afford eggs.” When Jenna Bush-Hager told her they were “going in glam‚” Munn was even more taken aback. “They said this out loud?” She added, “What’s the point? I think it’s a bit gluttonous.” The point of space exploration is to “further our knowledge and to help mankind,” Munn argued, asking “What are they gonna do up there that has made it better for us down here?” Sánchez will be accompanied by Katy Perry, Gayle King, former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, movie producer Kerianne Flynn, and activist Amanda Nguyen on April 14 for the 11-minute space expedition on her husband Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin rocket.
