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...

Perhaps Jeff likes getting pegged.
Orbit?
They're not going into orbit. They're barely going into outer space.
The surgeon must be a fan of the 'Predator' movies.
She is a helicopter pilot
Hope it blows up into 100 hundred duck lip pieces.

She better watch out. Plastic has a relatively low melting point.
Real Housewives of Blue Origin.
Lololol…you win the thread!!!
Yup! Penny or Marcia Brady? Ginger or Maryanne? The challenges we faced growing up 😃😃😃
Lesbos in space. Sounds like a Mel Brooks storyline.
“which will send the first female astronauts to the moon in 2025 as part of its Artemis programme.”
First it was 2020, then 2023, then 2024, now 2025.
I think I see a pattern emerging...
Bwahahahahahahaha.
Space Dykes!!
And i’d be kinda worried about those fake T*ts should there be a momentary loss of cabin pressure! no telling about the facial implants as well...
Just make sure the pilot got all his vaccinations and boosters up date
They won’t be able to do it unless they get a couple of trans women otherwise it won’t be all female. Everyone knows that trans women are the only real women.
Haven’t we got passed this crap yet?
I just saw the mint was issuing a commemorative coin for “Native American Ballet Dancers.”
The world is nuts.
And Bezos sending all checks into space on his rocket is akin to saying there were all women riding a bus. They don’t DO anything on that ride. Maybe they can have a pillow fight.
That’s one way to get rid of a girlfriend . . .
Marcia was cute but an airhead. Penny would have been better company.
The Blue Veined Throbber rocket, mated with the MEATUS-1 capsule, and three female Spam-stronauts aboard. Yawn...
