Billionaire Jeff Bezos' private space firm, Blue Origin, will send the first ever all-female crew into space in the next year.
Lauren Sanchez, Bezos' girlfriend, told the Wall Street Journal that she will lead the mission in early 2024.
Identities of the five ladies joining her won't be revealed until nearer the launch, which is yet to be officially confirmed by the company.
Bezos, who is also the founder and former CEO of Amazon, was aboard the first crewed Blue Origin mission to space on July 20, 2021.
It mirrors plans of NASA, which will send the first female astronauts to the moon in 2025 as part of its Artemis programme.
Sanchez told the WSJ that she is 'super excited' and 'a little nervous' about going into space.
'It's going to be women who are making a difference in the world and who are impactful and have a message to send,' she said.
Meanwhile, Bezos – who divorced his wife in 2019 following an affair with Sanchez – has been 'very encouraging' about the mission and is 'thrilled' that it's happening, she added.
'As much as he wants to go on this flight, I'm going to have to hold him back,' she said.
'He'll be cheering us all on from the sidelines.'
Sanchez is known in the US as a media personality and news anchor, but she's also a licensed helicopter pilot.
She's the founder of Black Ops Aviation, a female-owned aerial film and production company.
According to the WSJ, Bezos credits Sanchez for helping him get comfortable in the air again following a helicopter crash in 2003.
Bezos is also in the process of getting his own pilot's license.
Although Sanchez has no experience as an astronaut, this should not be an issue...

"What's the problem Orbiter Five"
"Captain Lauren feels she's not being involved enough in the mission"
"Roger that Orbiter Five, advise Captain Lauren to initiate a roll maneuver for an attitude change"
"Houston, Captain Lauren says her attitude is fine and she wants you to know it's your attitude she won't tolerate."

Run an image search for the amazon logo.
Then consider how the word breaks down (amaz on) within the totality of the thing.
There’s a pattern here. Next search for photos of amazon delivery van.
Unfortunately, what is seen cannot be unseen.
This guy’s pretty high up on the weird creep-o-meter.
Same here.
I hope that was not some attempt at humor
At his wealth level, it would be far cheaper to hire a discrete escort, pay her a $mil for a year of her time, say goodbye, and replace with a fresh one.
Dude, you’re sick.

Will they all cycle together while in orbit? That would be interesting.
