Actress Olivia Munn wondered this week if celebrities going on a much-publicized all-female space trip later this month is the best thing they could be doing with their lives, considering all the problems in the world.
During a recent episode of NBC's "Today with Jenna & Friends", the guest host and "Magic Mike" star expressed skepticism over the girl power space trip.
Host Jenna Bush Hager shared a cover of Elle magazine featuring the upcoming female passengers, though Munn couldn't get excited for them.
"Can I- ? Wha- What are they doing? Like, why?" the actress stammered, trying to convey her feelings about the mission.
"What are you doing up there?" she added. Bush Hager tried to explain the trip, saying they're "going for 11 minutes. They're going up, I think they're going to float around a little and then come back."
Munn compared the ride to Magic Mountain, though she may have meant the Walt Disney World Ride Space Mountain. Bush Hager laughed and corrected her.
"And by the way, if you want to go to space, why do you need to tell us about it?" the actress continued. "Just go up there, have a good time, come on down. Also, you know, I just think about - I know this is probably obnoxious, but like, it's so much money to go to space, you know? And there's a lot of people who can't even afford eggs."
"That's true," the host responded. "Oh my God, if they bring eggs into space!" Munn exclaimed.
"You know what I'm thinking about? The two astronauts who were stuck in space for a long time? Now they're back on earth going, 'You guys had an extra rocket? Like you could have sent it up to get us.'"
"Well, what's the point? Is it historic that you guys are going on a ride? I just don't - I think it's a bit gluttonous," Munn added.
Archaeologists have recently unearthed the remarkably well-preserved remains of a dog from ancient Rome, shedding light on the widespread practice of ritual sacrifice in antiquity.
