Nikki Glaser Reacts to Blue Origin’s Star-Studded Space Flight. Nikki Glazer revealed that she will never go to space after facing criticism for sending Blue Origin to an all-female crew.
Speaking to E! News on Thursday, the comedian and actress shared that she has big dreams after being named to the Time 100 list of 2025’s most influential people.
The 40-year-old joked that her next step is to go to “space.”
“Just kidding, no, no, I don’t want to go to space,” Nikki clarified to the outlet on the red carpet.
“Not only because of the backlash I would face, but I have no interest in going to space,” she added.
Nikki added that she wants to “enjoy my success” after a rewarding year career-wise.
“I want to enjoy the richness of my success. I think I’m trying to hold on to it, like ‘don’t go,’ and I haven’t really enjoyed any of it, like you’re trying to hold on to it,” she said. “I want to relax and let it be for a little while.”
For the uninitiated, Lauren Sanchez, Katy Perry, Gayle King, Aisha Bu, Amanda Nguyen, and Kerryann Flynn were the women who traveled to space for 10 minutes in April.
