Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos successfully blasted his fiancée Lauren Sánchez and an all-female crew to the edge of space.
The billionaire’s Blue Origin space rocket lifted off from its launchpad in West Texas on Monday morning.
Singer Katy Perry, CBS News journalist Gayle King, rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyễn, and film producer Kerianne Flynn were also on board the New Shepard capsule, which stuck its landing minutes later.
“Welcome back to Earth,” mission controllers said over the communications loop as the crew parachuted back down to terra firma. Laughing and celebrations could be heard from the inside of the capsule. Upon touch down, this made may for momentary screams as dust blasted out.
This is a breaking story and will be updated…
