Gayle King defended her Blue Origin space flight amid criticism from celebrities like Olivia Munn. King initially shared the critics' concerns about space tourism's cost but changed her perspective after learning about Blue Origin's mission to utilize space for waste management and environmental improvement. She emphasized the importance of space technology and its benefits, while also rejecting the dismissive term 'ride' used to describe the flight, and the criticism from her peers.
