Following her trip to space, Gayle King addressed those who criticized her and others involved in the historic Blue Origin flight.
After weeks of discussions and preparations, Gayle traveled to space briefly on Monday as part of Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin New Shepard mission.
Leading up to the trip and after, many critics deemed the trip unnecessary due to the current economic landscape and other global issues.
Singer Katy Perry, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen, aerospace engineer Aisha Bowe, and filmmaker Kerianne Flynn joined Gayle in the all-female crew, as did Bezos’s fiancee and author, Lauren Sanchez.
Upon Gayle’s departure from the space capsule after landing, she kissed the ground and celebrated being back on Earth before more discussion about the trip.
She also reacted to an internet meme of her scared pre-launch expression and fired back at the critics.

The debut episode of a retooled CBS Evening News tonight was notable for what it wasn’t: A showcase for a star anchor.
Rather, it opened with the dual anchor team of John Dickerson and Maurice DuBois getting right to the point in their top story — the “earthquake in the world of artificial intelligence,” or China’s breakthrough DeepSeek that gave a big shake to U.S. markets.
Then it was on to input from Washington, where Margaret Brennan weighed in against a tranquil backdrop of the Lincoln Memorial.
Later, Jim Axelrod did an extended story on Chinese espionage and Elizabeth Palmer reported on Hamas recruitment, later elaborating on their pieces with the anchors in studio. Mark Strassmann did an in-depth Eye On America story on the home insurance crisis, focusing on one man who lost his home only to discover his coverage wasn’t nearly enough to meet the rebuilding cost.

The nation’s TV-news outlets have spent countless hours covering the coronavirus pandemic. On late Wednesday afternoon, for at least a little while, they will focus on something entirely different.
CBS News, NBC News and ABC News are preparing to break into regularly scheduled programming a few minutes before 4:30 p.m. eastern Wednesday in a bid to chronicle the launch of a joint mission between Nasa and entrepreneur Elon Musk’s SpaceX that will represent the first time American astronauts will take off from U.S. soil since 2011. Both Fox News Channel and MSNBC are planning to break away from regular programming at that time in order to bring viewers coverage of the spectacle. Fox News will offer Fox Broadcasting affiliates special coverage of the event at 4:25 p.m. with anchor Leland Vittert.
Some news divisions are using the launch to highlight emerging business ventures and new means of distribution.
