Blue Origin, the aerospace company founded by Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos, is set to make history today as it attempts to launch a rocket with an all-female crew on board. The crew of six includes singer Katy Perry and “CBS Mornings” co-host Gayle King, among others.
This groundbreaking flight is designed to be autonomous, meaning there will be no pilot on board as the rocket travels to and from suborbital space. The women on board are set to make history as they take part in this momentous occasion.
This launch represents a significant step forward for diversity and inclusion in the space industry, as women continue to break barriers and make strides in traditionally male-dominated fields. The all-female crew serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of representation and equality in all sectors.
As viewers tune in to watch the live coverage of this historic event, they will witness a moment that showcases the incredible accomplishments of women in STEM fields. The team at Blue Origin has worked tirelessly to make this mission a reality, and their efforts are sure to inspire future generations of young women who dream of reaching for the stars.
Stay tuned as the launch unfolds and the all-female crew embarks on this extraordinary journey into space. This is truly a moment to celebrate and a testament to the power of women in shaping the future of space exploration.

Women can't drive a car. Good luck with that!
Please someone Help me
There were about 400 crew on my last commercial flight, and about a dozen freeloaders flying the plane and taking care of crew safety etc. or am I using the wrong terms here?
So dumb nobody cares
"Live Long And Prosper"
DISGUSTING 🤮
And they’re Home safe ❤
…………I hope all commenters give a thumbs down on this bs!
These were passengers, not crew. They were briefed by for 2 days. They did not train like astronauts.
STOP peddling this ridiculous narrative, your bias is showing.
We get it, women can do things too
The "Space Boondoggle". What a joke! No science happening here; Simply friends of Jeff Besos girlfriends girlfriend. Besos can use his money however he wants; Pretty DUMB!😮😅😂😢
Why is it so hard to get a straight answer from him?
They are all women to divide us and distract us from our real common enermy. These people are the one's keeping you and grandma from getting healthcare
Is this a joke?
They didn't lead any mission, there was no mission to further the space program. Nothing groundbreaking! Just, I'm a woman! Funny they know what a woman is all of a sudden. They literally were told sit down, put on a seatbelt and we will give you a fun little ride on a big rocket! What is this, the billionaire carnival? Women rode in a rocket and did nothing! Yay humanity! Freaking idiots.
They are passengers not astronauts 😂
@NBCNews… why do you cover up the telemetry with your dumb bottom bar?
ANybody else notice the door opened and shut back before he used the tool to open the door. He really had to crank that thing for it to fall open as easy as it did.

53:38 Door opened before he unlocks it from the outside, uh oh!
They are not Astronauts.
Hey feminist, keep in mind that a MAN by the name of Jeff Bezos made this happen.
What did Ms perry do crew wise other then provide jiggle physics?
Not to be a jerk, but while super cool experience and all, but shouldn’t the word crew mean they actually perform duties and functions on the mission???? They were nothing more than passengers so let’s temper it down just a bit.
Cadê imagem deles no espaço?
Hopefully the rocket wasn't made by all women 😂
FA
WTH is up with Thumbnail pic?
You know I wanted to make a joke about DEI, but that would be unbecoming.This is an incredible milestone to witness a large load bearing shaft inject human DNA into the unknown. Bravo.
