Jessica Alba’s shock clapback after space flight exposed.
Jessica Alba isn’t aiming her fire at the stars—she’s firing straight at Donald Trump instead.
All female space flight explained.
Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket launched on its seventh crewed mission this week, marking the first all-female civilian flight of its kind.
The space-bound crew included journalist Gayle King, philanthropist Amanda Nguyen, engineer Aisha Bowe, Katy Perry’s pal Kerianne Flynn—and of course, Lauren Sánchez.
Sánchez, who also happens to be engaged to Jeff Bezos, has been the center of both celebration and criticism for her place on the mission.
Lauren Sánchez led the pack as pilot-in-training, joined by a team of powerhouse women selected for their achievements and affiliations.
It was meant to be symbolic: a nod to progress in a field where women have long been underrepresented and overlooked.
But not everyone in Hollywood is standing with the stars—or rather, those who visited them.
The backlash to the Blue Origin trip went viral almost immediately after launch, with critics accusing it of elitism and performative feminism.
Backlash for star-studded space mission highlighted.
Olivia Wilde, Olivia Munn, and Emily Ratajkowski have each thrown subtle shade, questioning the purpose and privilege of the high-flying adventure.
Critics saw the billionaire branding, private jet energy, and press rollouts—and pounced.
They argue the Blue Origin trip was nothing more than a billionaire’s PR stunt dressed up as empowerment.
It didn’t help that the trip came amid growing economic tension and political chaos down here on Earth.
Online debates exploded within minutes of landing, and the story quickly morphed into something far bigger than space.
“What does this do for women?” one viral post questioned. “The optics are bad, the impact is worse.”
But defenders say it’s about visibility, inspiration, and representation in a space world still overwhelmingly male.
Gayle King, never one to back down, told TMZ the critics are missing the bigger picture entirely.
“It’s not either-or,” King said. “We can fund space exploration and fix things on Earth. It’s not mutually exclusive.”
And while her words were firm, Jessica Alba’s message came with fewer syllables—and a sharper edge.
Jessica’s defense of female space flight revealed.
The “Dark Angel” star took a rare political stand on Instagram, defending the all-female Blue Origin space crew amid a messy online backlash.
Alba and Sánchez go way back—publicly supporting each other long before this zero-gravity moment hit headlines.
She shared a post from political commentator Ana Navarro-Cárdenas, stamping it with a bold “THIS,” making her stance loud and clear.
The message? If you’re angry about a rocket ride, maybe aim your rage somewhere it actually counts—like the White House.
The original post she shared accused Trump of doing real damage while the internet picked apart a brief flight.
It cited policies with wide-ranging effects—reproductive rights, immigration, education—and asked why those weren’t trending instead.
The targeted post pointed fingers not at the six women who made history, but at Trump and what it called real “abuses of power.”
“This was an 11-minute flight,” Navarro-Cárdenas wrote. “Why are people acting like it wrecked their rent or canceled their healthcare?”
While Alba rarely posts political content, this moment struck a nerve—and clearly, a cause.
Her repost made it clear: the women weren’t the villains of this story. The narrative needed a plot twist.
Alba’s clapback rewrites the rocket narrative.
Jessica Alba’s decision to wade into the controversy now has everyone taking sides—with fans and critics flooding her comments section.
Her one-word post? Now making headlines of its own.
As the internet continues to orbit this debate, one thing’s for sure: the rocket may have landed, but the drama’s still sky-high.
And in the final frontier of celebrity opinions, Jessica Alba just launched a new mission—target: accountability, not astronauts.
