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...

No, I don't see any issues.
Cheaper way to get rid of a woman than his first divorce, I suppose
I just hope when they land nobody in the all female crew has to back it into a parking space.
Yikes. What’s up with that mug?
The vacuum of space?
His company, he can do what he wants.
A little misleading though. ‘led by?’
All of Blue origins crew are just spam in a ballistic can. Not really much in the way of crewing the capsule.
Maybe she decides what color their costumes will be.
“Interesting” shape of that rocket.
Is Bezos over-compensating for “coming up a bit short”?????
Is that Bezos arm in arm with a tranny?
“Although Sanchez has no experience as an astronaut, this should not be an issue... “
Spam in a can.
Historic firsts.
First catfight in space.
Dam that is not an attractive woman
she’s got that way too much plastic surgery face that almost like a man
Does the rocket have a makeup table?
8<)
But, would they hit Laz if they did try to backup into the laughing pad?
Announce the day before an amateur was going to space and blew up.
Also announced the day 3 astronauts burned up for the Apollo program.
She texted photos of Bezos to her brother and somehow these became public. Apparently coming up short isn’t a problem for him...or so I’ve heard.
could be a “lost in space” reboot...
Spent most of my career in Santa Clara working with silicon.
Jeff added an ‘e’.
If they land at sea she’ll certainly float.
