Jeff Bezos Launches All-Female Crew to Space

Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin is set to launch an all-female crew into space, including pop star Katy Perry, journalist Gayle King, and Bezos' fiancée Lauren Sánchez, among others. The mission, which is expected to take place this spring, will mark a historic moment as it features the first all-female flight crew since Valentina Tereshkova's 1963 mission. Each crew member has expressed a mix of excitement and anxiety about the upcoming journey, with King comparing her feelings to those she had when delivering a baby. Blue Origin aims to empower the crew to share their experiences and create lasting impact, although some critics question the qualifications of the participants. The flight, lasting about 11 minutes, will allow the crew to experience weightlessness and view Earth from space. The cost for a seat on the Blue Origin flight reportedly starts at $150,000.
