Lily Allen had some choice words about the Blue Origin space flight (Picture: BBC Sounds\/EPA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lily Allen is the latest celeb to criticise the all-female Blue Origin<\/a> 10-minute space flight.<\/p>\n

Six women, including Katy Perry<\/a>, Lauren S\u00e1nchez<\/a>, and Gayle King, were on board<\/a> during the 10-minute trip to the K\u00e1rm\u00e1n line, the internationally recognised boundary of space.<\/p>\n

Their flight lasted 10 minutes and 21 seconds<\/a> and took off about 120 miles southeast of El Paso at 8.30 am local time.<\/p>\n

The flight\u2019s roster also included aerospace engineer Aisha Bowe, feminist activist Amanda Nguyen and film producer Kerianne Flynn.<\/p>\n

The flight was the first all-female space team<\/a> in 60 years and aimed to inspire young women to love science – while also promoting Jeff Bezos<\/a>’ Blue Origin, which plans to commercialise space travel for the rich.<\/p>\n

The flight has opened up a huge amount of debate<\/a>, and some celebrities have spoken out directly about the trip.<\/p>\n

don’t think we need to see a bunch of uber rich women fired into space in a schlong shaped space ship for 5 minutes… we need equal pay, access to reproductive healthcare, the right to vote, to feel safe, autonomy over our own bodies, the right to safe, accessible abortion.<\/p>\n<p>‘When I think of all the things this money could have been used to do, I honestly feel ashamed. We’re living in a world where children are starving, old people are dying in their homes, little girls are being forced into marriage as young as 9, women are dying due to a lack of access to healthcare.. and THIS was deemed as a SMART use of all that money.<\/p>\n<p>‘You might think you have the privilege of watching these gender wars burn from the sidelines.. but you don’t, they’re getting closer and closer to home. Don’t allow yourself to be distracted by shiny rockets and famous faces- stay informed, stay loud and be unapologetic in your support of women’s rights.’<\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-container shareable-item wp-caption\">\n<div class=\"img-wrap\">\n\t\t<img width=\"646\" height=\"431\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"article-image wp-image-22423901 lazyload\" alt=\"Pictured: Vicky Pattison\" loading=\"lazy\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.isshicare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SEI_237081392-a245.jpg\">\t<\/div><figcaption>Vicky Pattison also aimed at the mission (Picture: Rob Parfitt \/ Channel 4)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Amy Schumer also joked about the mission.<\/p>\n<p>‘Guys, last second they added me to space and I’m going to space,’ she said in a video on social media as she held a black panther toy – mocking Katy, who brought a daisy to represent her daughter Daisy.<\/p>\n<p>‘I’m bringing this thing.
