Bezos to Send His Fiancée, Katy Perry, and CBS’s Gayle King into Space on All-Female Blue Origin Flight
Breitbart ^ | 2-27-25 | Alana Mastrangelo

Singer Katy Perry, CBS Mornings co-host Gayle King, and Jeff Bezos’ fiancé Lauren Sanchez will blast off into space on a Blue Origin rocket as part of an all-female passenger crew, the company announced this week.

Blue Origin’s 11th human spaceflight as part of its New Shepard program, as well as the 31st in its history, is set to launch this spring, the company said in a Thursday announcement.

“This is the first all-female flight crew since Valentina Tereshkova’s solo spaceflight in 1963,” Blue Origin noted.

In addition to Perry, King, and Sanchez, former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, bioastronautics research scientist Amanda Nguyen, and nonprofit leader Kerianne Flynn will also be on the rocket.

Blue Origin also noted that it was Sanchez “who brought the mission together” to launch on the New Shepard rocket.

“This is the first all-female flight crew since Valentina Tereshkova’s solo spaceflight in 1963,” Blue Origin noted.

What percentage of the ground crew and engineers who actually designed and built the rocket are female, I wonder. What percentage of the scientists who laid the theoretical foundations for space flight and the research engineers who developed the materials are female?

Regards,

“automated suborbital flight.”

I am sorry, ladies. I am afraid I can’t do that.

Is Katy Perry his fiancé? Sending her is ok, but I’d have preferred it if he had sent Taylor Swift.

I believe Lauren is a licensed pilot. I wish them all the best...but getting blasted into space isn’t foolproof yet.
I would think he would go with his fiance just in case “something” happens...

****I believe Lauren is a licensed pilot.****

She probably has some comfort level with the flight and some leadership weight, so it isn’t just ditzy dames.
“In 2016, after learning to fly at age 40 and getting her pilot’s license, she founded Black Ops Aviation, the first female-owned aerial film and production company. In 2024, she received the Elling Halvorson Vertical Flight Hall of Fame Award at the Annual Living Legends of Aviation Awards for her expertise as a helicopter pilot and aviation businesswoman”

What happened to Katey Perry. She looks like a death camp survivor in the picture. She used to be pretty well put together. She used to fill out that top with some to spare. She looks like a heroin addict.

Just lock the gimbals on the rocket nozzles for straight ahead and let the rockets run until there’s no more fuel. With any luck they’ll run into Elon Musk’s roadster.
