# Pop star Katy Perry and CBS Mornings host Gayle King will be part of an all-women flight on Blue Origin’s New Shepherd rocket, scheduled to blast off later this year. They will be joined by Blue Origin owner Jeff Bezos’s fiancée, Lauren Sanchez, former NASA rocket scientist, Aisha Bowe, civil rights activist, Amanda Nguyen, and film producer Kerianne Flynn. Blue Origin says this is the first all-women space flight to take place since the Soviet Union’s Valentina Tereshkova’s solo mission in 1963.
