<p>Hollywood actress Jessica Alba is stepping in to defend the crew member of the recent star-studded Blue Origin space flight amid widespread backlash.</p>
<p>The 43-year-old actress and entrepreneur took to Instagram to publicly defend the all-female voyage by resharing a post from political strategist Ana Navarro-Cardenas, which encouraged critics to focus their energy on "denouncing" US President Donald Trump rather than the passengers, reports &lsquo;Female First UK&rsquo;.</p>
<p>In her post, Ana said, "I've seen endless criticisms of 5 women doing their space thing, I can't see how it affects our lives. I wish people would show the same energy, and focus that anger towards fearlessly denouncing Trump's abuses of power, which do affect countless lives in the US and the world&rdquo;.</p>
<p>As per &lsquo;Female First UK&rsquo;, Jessica reposted the message and captioned it "this". The all-female passengers on Blue Origin's 10-minute trip to space included Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos&rsquo; fiancee, Lauren Sanchez, singer Katy Perry, journalist Gayle King, film producer Kerianne Flynn, NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, and civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen.</p>
<p>And, Gayle recently defended the trip after considerable backlash. When asked about the criticism, Gayle told Extra, "I think it&rsquo;s good that we can really address it &hellip; because I was one of those people before I went on this flight and before I became educated. &lsquo;Why are we spending so much money on space when there&rsquo;s so much to do on Earth?&rsquo; I was one of those people&rdquo;.</p>
<p>However, Gayle said she changed her mind after researching Blue Origin and finding out &ldquo;what their intention is&rdquo;, which she said is &ldquo;to figure out a way to harness the waste here and put it in space to make the Earth a better place&rdquo;.</p>
