United Kingdom, April 17 -- Jessica Alba has defended the star-studded Blue Origin space flight amid a furious backlash.

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.

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 same energy focus that anger towards fearlessly denouncing Trump's abuses of power, which do affect countless lives in the US and the world."

Jessica reposted the message and captioned ...
