Jeff Bezos' rocket company Blue Origin announced the crew for its next mission on Thursday, which can only mean one thing: More wealthy people will try to travel to space.
Prominent among the crew are pop star Katy Perry and broadcast journalist Gayle King. They were joined by two scientists, Aisha Burr and Amanda Nguyen, as well as Jeff Bezos' fiancée, television personality Lauren Sanchez, and film producer Killian Flynn.Blue Origin said this is the first all-female space crew since Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova's solo space mission in 1963, making her the first woman in history. For the company's New Shepard rocket, this is its 31st trip into space and the 11th with a crew.The trip is expected to last about 10 to 12 minutes; you can also reserve a spot on a future space excursion if you're willing to pay a $150,000 deposit.
