CNN has reached out to Blue Origin for comment. Blue OriginFriday’s mission was Blue Origin’s ninth human spaceflight on the rocket used for space tourism. Upon landing safely at Blue Origin’s launch site in West Texas, Calandrelli compared seeing Earth from space for the first time to motherhood. Calandrelli said she was crying on the flight home from the mission because of the online reaction and texting her “space sisters” for advice. As she was getting off the flight, Calandrelli said the Southwest flight attendant recognized her and whispered, “don’t let them dull your shine.”“I felt an immediate sense of camaraderie with her, with all women,” Calandrelli said.
