First, they made a short but extremely expensive trip into space, then they came back and kissed the earth, notes actress and model Emily Ratajkowski. She is disgusted.

It's beyond parody. That you care about Mother Earth, that it's about Mother Earth, and that you're flying up in a spaceship built and paid for by a company that single-handedly destroys the planet, says Emily Ratajkowski in a post on Tiktok.

Look at the state of the world. Think about how many resources were spent on sending these women to space (...) For what?

I'm disgusted.

Actress Olivia Munn also criticizes the space trip. In the talk show "Today with Jenna & friends", she also asks what the purpose is of Perry and the gang letting themselves be shot into space.

I know it's probably not a cool thing to say, but there are so many other important things in the world right now. What are they going to do up there to make life better for us down here? asks Munn.

In The Guardian, columnist Zoe Williams summarizes her view on the matter: "It may be a small step for some women, but it doesn't feel like a giant leap for womankind."
