"Whether advocating for climate justice with the Bezos Earth Fund or creating safe, dignified spaces for families through This Is About Humanity, Lauren leads with purpose, and brings others with her."Snchez was recently in the news as part of the all-female flight crew of theBlue OriginNew Shepard mission. She was joined by pop star Katy Perry, American TV personality Gayle King, STEMBoard CEO Aisha Bowe, bioastronautics research scientist Amanda Nguyn and film producer Kerianne Flynn.During the 10-minute, 21-second mission, the women traveled more than 62 miles above Earth, crossing the internationally recognized boundary of space and experienced a few minutes of zero gravity."I came back to Earth but something in me is still up there," Snchez wrote on Instagram after the space flight. "Theres a silence in space that somehow made everything feel more alive. I looked down at our planet and felt how fragile and beautiful it all is. And how deeply connected we are."Following the mission, many celebrities shared their opinion on the decision to go through with it, with some questioning whether it was a good use of resources.Actress Olivia Wilde shared a meme of Perry getting off the spacecraft, writing, "Billion dollars bought some good memes I guess."LIKE WHAT YOURE READING?
