Journalist Gayle King, who was one of the celebrities who took part in the Blue Origin PR stunt, called out “haters” who say she isn’t an astronaut and refused to accept that the space flight was just a “ride.”
King was in the Jeff Bezos-funded rocket alongside other rich celebrities, including Katy Perry and Lauren Sanchez.
Despite the trip lasting just 11 minutes and the all female crew only reaching very low earth orbit, King appears to think she’s on a par with Neil Armstrong.
Gayle King thinks she’s an astronaut because she took a 10 minute ride on her friend’s boyfriend’s rocket ship

King referred to herself and the other women on board as “astronauts,” which is probably the biggest insult to actual astronauts ever uttered.
“I don’t like that people are calling it a ride,” said King, adding that people wouldn’t say a male astronaut took a “ride”.
This is patently ridiculous comparison, given the extent of King’s training involved getting in and out of the capsule and knowing how to put on a seatbelt.
The broadcast journalist also suggested that the PR stunt was important because it captured crucial “information,” although what that information consisted on she couldn’t specify.
King herself spent much of her time during the flight messing around with a cuddly toy, while Katy Perry was glued to the on board camera promoting her next tour.
Calling on her critics to do their “due diligence,” King arrogantly asked, “My question is, have y’all been to space?”
“I know there are cranky Yankees, I know there are some haters, but I’m not gonna let people steal my joy and steal the joy of what we did or what we accomplished that day,” King said.
“”I’m just not going to let it in. I’m not,” she added, while obviously letting it in.

she is a space tourist…it would be like me calling myself a pilot just because I was a passenger on a jet.
Ass-tro-NOT!
Why is Gay’le King still processing her hair? She still posing she ain’t black?
Looks like good ‘ol down-to-Earth “cultural appropriation” to this Earthling.
Where’s da pride?!
A BIMBO is NOT an ASTRONAUT.
Hey Gay-ale… how’s ‘about STFU! No one cares. We do find it another humorous incident, living alongside narcissist progressives, though.
The vacuum of space is nothing compared to the vacuum in her head.
All this stunt proved is some women can be just as ditsy in sub-orbit as on Earth.
They already sent a monkey in to space, and this one and her harpy friends technically didn’t leave the outer atmosphere, so no, they aren’t astronauts, they’re overly privileged narcissists.
What a self-righteous hag that has done absolutely nothing for humanity and has contributed nothing but be up harpos cooch…
Disgusting…every last one of them.
Astronaut=freemason
She would be order of the eastern star.
You cant go to space anyway ffs, the funniest was the last unmanned mission that went to the moon. They said that it fell over and lost all power to the batteries but amazingly by divine intervention, it managed to take a photo of itself and send it back to earth in that state. You definitely know there is something wrong when they suddenly launch all these ‘missions’ to convince us. The space station is in a big swimming pool in texas and rockets never for some weird reason go straight up into space which would be the logical thing. You can polish a turd up as much as you want but it still comes from an arsehole. You can get to a certain altitude which is why rockets curve to avoid the barrier.
You really are a twat, aren’t you? I’ve literally seen the space station in real life (you should try that sometime) as it passed overhead. How did they fake that, eh? Oh, and for the last 3 decades, I’ve been receiving TV signals using a satellite dish pointed at…..a satellite. As for why rockets don’t go ‘straight up’ – ask Google. But then, I don’t think science is your strong point.
Sure you did limey, sure you did. Share with us all the serial numbers on the solar panels so then from the pictures you took. Ask google says it all really with you. Yes I can see that science is your idol alright as well as the ‘experts’ who gave you things like vaccines, ddt and such wonders as munitions of various destructive forces. The same experts who gave us the drugs to trans children but i see you are a believer in all that. I do feel for you though having literally no knowledge of your own and being dependent on google and the ‘experts’ fro everything. You dont get to learn good stuff about operation dominic for example. I do hope one day that you will see the truth and the light instead of google and your idols.
Gayle King didn’t travel to “space”…
If she did, she would likely still be there, stranded, with Bezos refusing to rescue them…
If Bezos actually sends his wife into orbit, one should consider it an alternative to divorce, with Elon her only hope…
It is called a “sub-orbital” flight. They did not orbit the earth.
