Blue Origin has set a launch date for its historic NS-31 tourist flight that includes well-known celebrities and activists.
The NS-31 mission will take off atop Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket and see an all-female crew fly to the edge of space and back. The crew includes Amanda Nguyen, a civil rights activist who will become the first Vietnamese woman to fly to space, CBS Mornings co-host Gayle King, pop superstar Katy Perry, film producer Kerianne Flynn, entrepreneur and former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, and journalist and philanthropist Lauren Sánchez — partner of Blue Origin’s billionaire founder Jeff Bezos.
