Blue Origin Launches First All-Female Crew, Including Gayle King and Katy Perry, on Suborbital Flight

Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket launched its first all-female crew on a suborbital flight from Texas. The crew included CBS Mornings co-host Gayle King, pop star Katy Perry, and Jeff Bezos' fiancée Lauren Sanchez. The mission lasted ten and a half minutes, providing the crew with a brief period of weightlessness. The launch was watched by students across South Florida, who expressed inspiration at witnessing the historic event. Gayle King described the experience as incredible, while students voiced their belief that they could achieve anything after seeing the all-female crew.
