SHOCKING OUTBURST: Emily Ratajkowski SLAMS Blue Origin’s All-Female Space Mission—“End-Time S*” and “Disgusting” Waste of Resources!**

In an unexpected and fiery rant, model and activist Emily Ratajkowski has become one of the leading critics of Blue Origin’s latest space mission, which garnered international attention for its all-female flight crew. The flight, which included high-profile figures like Gayle King, Katy Perry, and Lauren Sánchez (fiancée of Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos), completed a round-trip expedition to the edge of space on Monday, April 14. What was initially celebrated as a triumph for feminism and diversity quickly sparked intense backlash, led by none other than Ratajkowski herself.

In two scalding TikTok videos, Ratajkowski shared her unfiltered thoughts on the venture, criticizing not only the mission itself but the larger implications of Bezos’ space tourism company. The 33-year-old model didn’t hold back, calling the entire mission a “waste of resources” and questioning its ethical and environmental impact.

The Rant That Shocked the Internet: “End-Time S*”**

Ratajkowski’s first TikTok, which has since gone viral, opens with a blunt condemnation of the space mission: “That space mission this morning, that’s end-time s***. Like, this is beyond parody.” Her words were directed at the high-profile space expedition that sent a team of influential women—some of whom are regarded as pioneers in their respective fields—on a journey into space.

Ratajkowski, however, was not impressed with the optics. She took aim at the fact that the mission was funded by Amazon, the tech giant founded by Jeff Bezos. “Saying that you care about Mother Earth, and it’s about Mother Earth, and going up in a spaceship that is built and paid for by a company that’s single-handedly destroying the planet?” she continued. “Look at the state of the world, and think about how many resources went into putting these women into space, and for what?”

For Ratajkowski, the contradiction was glaring: on one hand, a mission billed as a “progressive” achievement for women in science, but on the other, an endeavor funded by a company with environmental practices that have often been criticized for contributing to global harm.

Ratajkowski’s frustration boiled over as she condemned the whole spectacle, exclaiming, “For what, what was the marketing there? And then to try to make it like… I’m disgusted. Literally, I’m disgusted.”

The Backlash: Ratajkowski Finds Support and Solidarity

Ratajkowski’s comments did not go unnoticed. Her TikTok rant quickly became one of the most talked-about topics on social media, drawing both support and criticism from various sides. Many fans echoed her sentiments, arguing that the $28 million mission could have been better spent on helping women and marginalized communities here on Earth, rather than indulging in space tourism for the wealthy elite.

One TikTok user commented, “They acted like it was a win for feminism. The money used to send them to space could have been used to actually help women in so many ways.” Another post read, “I completely agree with Emily. This is such a waste when we have so many problems right here.”

Ratajkowski wasn’t alone in her criticism. Fellow celebrity and activist Olivia Munn, along with other influential figures, also shared their disappointment with the space mission. They questioned whether the goal of sending women into space really served the larger cause of social justice or if it was simply a publicity stunt that perpetuated the wealth gap.

The Second TikTok: Ratajkowski Doubles Down on Her Critique

The next day, Ratajkowski returned to TikTok, doubling down on her critique and offering a deeper explanation for her position. “I think that this space mission is confusing to people because seeing women and people of color in spaces like science and politics that have not previously included them feels and looks like, really looks like — optically looks like — progress,” she explained.

However, Ratajkowski was quick to point out the limitations of such “progress.” “But the truth is, is that having a man who has gained his power and become a part of the 1% purely through exploitation and greed deciding to take his fiancée and a few other famous women to space for space tourism is not progress.”

She argued that the whole spectacle merely reinforced the ongoing divide between the ultra-wealthy and the majority of people who are struggling with basic issues like housing, food, and healthcare. “It just speaks to the fact that we are absolutely living in an oligarchy, where there is a very small group of people who are interested in going to space for the sake of getting a new lease on life while the rest of the population—most people on Planet Earth—are worried about paying rent, or, you know, having dinner for their kids.”

Space Tourism: A Symbol of Inequality?

Ratajkowski’s comments strike at the heart of the growing debate surrounding space tourism and the role of billionaires like Bezos in shaping the future of human exploration. As private companies like Blue Origin and SpaceX embark on missions to space, critics argue that such ventures only further exacerbate global inequalities.

While advocates of space tourism argue that the advancements could benefit humanity in the long run, Ratajkowski and others view it as an extravagant distraction from pressing issues on Earth. With Bezos’ wealth having grown exponentially through Amazon’s practices, critics contend that it is hypocritical to advocate for saving the planet while simultaneously using enormous resources for personal gain in the form of space tourism.

A Growing Call for Accountability and Ethical Spending

Ratajkowski’s fiery response has sparked a much-needed conversation about ethical spending and the allocation of resources. As the wealth gap continues to grow, the idea that billionaires could spend billions on trips to space while the rest of the world faces widespread poverty, climate change, and inequality is difficult for many to reconcile.

The debate over space tourism will undoubtedly continue to evolve, but Ratajkowski’s passionate stance has brought important issues to the forefront. Will society accept this new frontier of exploration as a worthy investment, or will calls for accountability grow louder, demanding that the ultra-wealthy direct their wealth and influence toward solving more immediate issues here on Earth?
