A lot is being made about the recent Blue Origin flight into space
On April 14, 2025, Blue Origin carried out its NS-31 mission, a landmark suborbital journey featuring an all-women crew aboard the New Shepard rocket. The six participants were:
Katy Perry – International pop icon
Gayle King – Renowned broadcast journalist from CBS
Lauren Sánchez – Pilot, journalist, and the mission’s lead coordinator
Aisha Bowe – Aerospace engineer and former NASA rocket scientist
Amanda Nguyễn – Human rights advocate and Nobel Peace Prize nominee
Kerianne Flynn – Film industry producer
Liftoff took place at 8:30 a.m. Central from Blue Origin’s launch facility at Corn Ranch in West Texas. The flight spanned roughly 10 minutes and 21 seconds, propelling the crew past the Kármán line—about 62 miles (100 kilometers) above Earth—widely considered the threshold of space.
That’s great. Really, it is. It was a great experience and a great opportunity. The problem is that some of the women on board this flight want to be treated as though they did something great, which they did not. Instead, they were recipients of what other others have done before them. There’s no reason for any of them to claim that suddenly they are inspirations. They took a ride. There was no need to kiss the Earth upon their return, because they were only gone 11 minutes, during which they were never in any danger. They were not gone long enough for them to have missed mother earth or no did they have any reason to fear that they would not return.
The proper response of each passenger should’ve been humility, appreciation, awe at God’s creation.
