All-female crew including Jeff Bezos’s fiancee Lauren Sánchez to blast off from Texas on Monday morning
Six women – including the pop star Katy Perry and morning TV host Gayle King – are set to launch into space from a private Texas ranch on Monday morning on a rocket belonging to Jeff Bezos, the Amazon co-founder and commercial space flight entrepreneur.
The women, who also include Bezos’s fiancee Lauren Sánchez, will make the trip to the Kármán line – the internationally recognized boundary of space – and float about, weightlessly, in the rocket’s capsule for three minutes before returning to earth.
