Megyn Kelly brands Blue Origin 'Jeff Bezos' sexual fantasy rocket'

Megyn Kelly has joined the legions of stars bashing the recent Blue Origin space trip, branding it as ‘Jeff Bezos’ sexual fantasy rocket’ in an explosive rant.

The political commentator, 54, dove into criticisms of the all-female flight in the newest episode of her show, The Megyn Kelly Show.

On April 14, Amazon CEO Bezos’ Blue Origin spaceship soared to space for 11 minutes with a star-studded crew including singer Katy Perry, Bezos’ fiancée Lauren Sanchez, and CBS News host Gayle King.

However, since its brief launch, the women’s reactions and the flight itself has been receiving immense backlash from both stars and social media users.

And Megyn did not hold back while discussing it on her series. 

‘The ladies of the Blue Origins mission, the space mission, they’re talking about it like it was Apollo 11. They think they’re Neil Armstrong,’ she began.

‘It’s amazing. They are getting ripped now, not just from the Megyn Kelly’s of the world, but from all these lefties, all these Hollywood celebs are going on Instagram and elsewhere and expressing their disdain for what these women did and how they’re celebrating themselves.

‘Wait until you hear how they talked about their 10-minute trip on Jeff Bezos’ sexual fantasy rocket.’ 

Megyn argued that the women ‘didn’t walk on the moon’ and had a far different experience than famous astronauts like Alan Shepard, who did in fact walk on the moon. 

‘When he did his first space flight, it was the first space flight, like that’s the reason it was exciting. It wasn’t for commercial gain. It wasn’t to promote Amazon,’ the journalist said on her show.

‘It wasn’t with some women with her t*ts hanging out who needed a little extra attention.’

She was joined on her show by Batya Ungar Sargon, The Free Press columnist, who also chimed in about the controversial flight.

‘It’s so amazing. They went to see space and we’re supposed to see them, right?’ she began.

‘They admired the universe and what they were expecting was for us to admire the fact that they were rich enough and famous enough to have been granted this utterly vacuous experience from which they learned absolutely nothing.’

In an interview after the trip, Gayle said ‘there was nothing frivolous’ about their flight.

‘Whenever a man goes up … you have never said to a [male] astronaut, “What a ride.” [Don’t] call it a ride,’ she said.

‘It’s called a flight or a journey. A ride implies it’s something frivolous or light hearted. There’s nothing frivolous about what we did.’

She added, ‘I’m very disappointed and saddened by [the hate]. What it’s doing to inspire other women and young girls – please don’t ignore that.’

However, Megyn strongly disagreed, cutting to the clip inside the spacecraft of the women floating.

‘I’m still stuck on the fact that Gayle King actually used the word “astronauts” in reference to [herself and the other women on the flight]. Like an actual astronaut,’ Megyn scathed.

‘You are there on a vanity project of Jeff Bezos and his fiancé. You’ve done absolutely nothing to deserve this. You’re sitting next to Katy Perry.

‘If you don’t want people to think it’s frivolous, Gayle, then don’t have the f**king Kardashians craft-side as you take off and Oprah.

‘That might have something to do with our reaction to this non-serious event, a PR stunt.’

Megyn included responses from models Olivia Munn and Emily Ratajkowski who also found the ‘stunt’ to be shocking and ‘disgusting.’

Olivia Wilde also chimed in saying: ‘A billion dollars bought some good memes I guess’ alongside an image of Katy Perry kissing the ground’ and comedian Amy Schumer made a parody version of the flight. 

‘It’s very interesting to see the cracks in the very elites that the women come from. They realize that they’ve lost the plot, they realize they’ve lost the country,’ Batya commented.

‘Nobody’s going to see their movies, nobody’s watching their TV shows there’s no purchase for that ostentatious liberal vacuous empty culture anymore.

‘I think we’re going to look back on this moment as the moment that we started to realize that we were in full-on woke lash and people wanted to return to substance and to unifying messages and to actual entertainment, actual culture that has real meaning for people.’

Megyn added: ‘I think there’s [an] element of a stolen valor feel to it.

‘We revere our astronauts – our actual astronauts – who actually do put themselves in harm’s way in order to forge new frontiers. 

‘We’ve seen astronauts – actual ones – die in the name of this service … There have been civilians to go up to they wear actual space suits. 

‘They go through real training not two days of learning how to buckle your seatbelt, which is literally what they did. 

‘That’s what they’re touting as their training, buckling the seat belt, getting in and out of the vessel, and learning how to press the button so they could speak to mission control. 

‘That doesn’t make you an astronaut, OK? Sorry, Gayle and everybody else on board.’

She continued: ‘They actually seem to have expected a Neil Armstrong-type welcome home and I’m really uplifted by the fact that left… [can] see through this PR stunt farce.’

Megyn also wrote an article about the flight saying she ‘didn’t feel empowered’ by it.

The six-person crew also included film producer Kerianne Flynn, activist Amanda Nguyen, and former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe.

The women crossed the Karman Line, often used as the boundary of space, and were treated to roughly three minutes of weightlessness before they headed back down to the ground. 

Their journey was powered by a reusable rocket which pushed the capsule into space before detaching and gently guiding itself back to Earth.
