Lauren Sánchez made history by being part of the first all-female crew to launch into space with Blue Origin, echoing the significance of Valentina Tereshkova's 1963 mission. Sánchez was joined by fellow good company: Katy Perry, Gayle King, Aisha Bowe, Amanda Nguyen, and Kerianne Flynn. Together they experienced brief weightlessness, leading Sánchez to express feelings of joy, camaraderie, and a sense of connection with Earth. She highlighted her admiration for her crew members' courage in facing the unknown, especially noting Gayle King's remarkable participation.
It was a feeling of joy and camaraderie. It was a feeling of gratefulness. It was a feeling that we're doing this.
You look at it and you're like - we're all in this together. That's all I could think about, like, we're so connected, more connected than you realize.
