Los Angeles, April 17 (NationPress) Hollywood actress Jessica Alba is coming forward to support the crew members of the recent high-profile Blue Origin space flight amidst significant criticism.

The 43-year-old actress and entrepreneur utilized Instagram to publicly advocate for the all-female journey by resharing a post from political strategist Ana Navarro-Cardenas, which urged critics to direct their energies towards condemning US President Donald Trump rather than the spaceflight participants, according to ‘Female First UK’.

In her post, Ana stated, "I’ve encountered countless criticisms regarding 5 women pursuing their space endeavors, which I fail to see as impacting our lives. I wish individuals would direct the same vigor and focus that anger towards boldly denouncing Trump’s abuses of power, which do affect many lives in the US and globally.”

As reported by ‘Female First UK’, Jessica reposted this message with the caption "this". The all-female crew on Blue Origin's brief journey to space comprised Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos’ fiancée, Lauren Sanchez, singer Katy Perry, journalist Gayle King, film producer Kerianne Flynn, NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, and civil rights advocate Amanda Nguyen.

Recently, Gayle also defended the expedition following substantial backlash. When questioned about the criticism, Gayle told Extra, "I believe it’s beneficial that we can openly discuss it … because I was once part of that group before participating in this flight and before becoming informed. ‘Why are we investing so much in space when there are pressing issues on Earth?’ I was one of those individuals.”

However, Gayle mentioned that her perspective shifted after researching Blue Origin and discovering "what their goal is", which she described as “to devise a method to manage waste from Earth and utilize it in space to enhance the planet.”
