The criticism behind Katy Perry's recent space flight:

The 11-minute journey caused mixed reactions, with many describing it as historic, while others were not so quick to celebrate. Following the online criticism, part of the crew shared their opinions.

“You never see a male astronaut who’s going up in space, and they say, ‘Oh, he took a ride.’ We actually duplicated the route that Alan Shepard did,” she said. “No one said, ‘He took that ride.’ It’s always referred to as a flight or a journey. So I feel that’s a little disrespectful to what the mission was and the work that Blue Origin does," Gayle King said.

Meanwhile, Lauren Sanchez said: "When we hear comments like that, I just say, trust me. Come with me. I'll show you what this is about, and it's, it's really eye-opening."

Katy did not comment on the backlash. However, she felt blessed to be back to her "best reality" with her husband Orlando Bloom, and their daughter Daisy.
