Olivia Munn is sharing her thoughts on Blue Origins all-female space expedition.

The rocket company, owned byJeff Bezos, has assembled a crew that includes Katy Perry, Gayle King and Lauren Snchez to embark on a space flight on April 14.

Blue Origin says this is the first all-female crew for one of its flights and the 11th manned mission overall. The crew was also featured on Elle magazines recent cover story. Blue Origins New Shepard spacecraft takes passengers above the Krmn line 62 miles above the Earth. While co-hosting Today With Jenna Friends, Munn was candid about her thoughts on the flight, questioning why its even happening in the first place.

What are they doing? Like, why? Munn said during the discussion with co-hostJenna Bush Hager. You know what I mean? I know this is probably not the cool thing to say, but there are so many other things that are so important in the world right now. What are you guys going to do up in space?

When Bush Hager noted that the women are expected to be in space for 11 minutes, Munn quipped, So youre on, like, Magic Mountain.

And by the way, if you want to go to space, why do you need to tell us about it? You know? Just go up there, have a good time, come on down. Also, I just think about I know this is probably obnoxious but its so much money to go to space. Theres a lot of people who cant even afford eggs. Oh my God, if they bring eggs into space!

King has admitted that she hasnt stopped worrying about the flight, while Perry said she was not nervous at all, according to Bush Hager. Despite having conflicting feelings, Bush Hager noted that the crew is all going in glam.

What? Munn asked, visibly confused. They said this out loud?

Whats the point? Is it historic that you guys are going on a ride? I think its a bit gluttonous. The cover of Elle magazine? I dont know, she continued.

Space exploration was to further our knowledge and to help mankind. What are they gonna do up there that has made it better for us down here? Munn argued. I mean, I dont know if all that rocket fuel is good. This is a lot of resources being spent.

In addition to Perry, King and Snchez, the crew will also include former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, research scientist Amanda Nguyen and film producer Kerianne Flynn.
