Jeff Bezo's Blue Origin company's ship the New Shepard (Blue Origin NS-31) launched its first 6-member all-female team for a brief space visit. The team consisted of: pop star Katy Perry, CBS anchor Gayle King, Jeff Bezo's fiancé journalist Lauren Sánchez, NASA scientist Aisha Bowe, NASA scientist and civil rights activist Amanda Nguy?n, and film producer Kerianne Flynn. The first instance of a female-manned space mission (Vostok 6) was a solo flight with cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova in 1963, so this is the first instance of an all-female team in space.
