Gayle King, the iconic journalist and co-host of CBS Mornings, will be making waves—this time not just on your TV screens, but in the great beyond! King will join Aisha Bowe, a trailblazing former NASA rocket scientist and tech industry leader, for an incredible space travel experience scheduled for this spring.  Blue Origin, a private aerospace company founded by Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon announced that the New Shepard NS-31 will take its all-female crew on a landmark flight into space, redefining boundaries and celebrating women’s achievements.

Also joining this historic mission are some incredible women making strides in their fields. Emmy-winning journalist and pilot Lauren Sanchez, who is also Bezos’ partner, will lead the mission. She’ll be joined by Amanda Nguyen, a Nobel Peace Prize-nominated activist and space enthusiast, and Kerianne Flynn, a filmmaker and nonprofit advocate, each one an inspiring force in her own right.

This groundbreaking flight builds on the Blue Origin legacy, which has previously carried big names to space, including Amazon’s own Bezos, legendary Star Trek actor William Shatner, former NFL player and Super Bowl Champion Michael Strahan, and other notable adventurers.
