Amazon founder Jeff Bezos continues to sign many important projects with the Blue Origin space company. The phenomenon businessman signaled an interesting flight earlier this year. Bezos is working on a project where an all-female team, led by key business partner Lauren Sánchez, will go into space.
Marriage doesn’t spoil the project, Lauren Sánchez goes to space in 2024
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez have been together since 2019. Sánchez, an experienced pilot, was announced to lead the all-female crew on the New Shepard rocket. The couple announced their engagement at the Cannes Film Festival. Sánchez stated that this development in their private lives will not affect the project, and that the flight will take place as planned.
It is not yet known who will take part in the flight, which will take place with Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket. It was stated that the flight will take place in the lowest part of space, crossing a border called the Kármán line, which is about 100 kilometers above the ground. The crew will stay in that area for approximately 15 minutes. Sánchez made the following statements about the flight.
There will be women who make a difference in the world, are influential and have a message to send. I’m very excited about this and a little nervous. I wanted to be in the rocket at every moment of the project from the jump. I have to say that Bezos is also excited to do this with all these women.
On the other hand, it should be noted that Bezos also targets important projects apart from this one. NASA continues to work on the Artemis missions, which are manned missions to the Moon. In a statement made today, he announced the company that will carry astronauts to the Moon on the Artemis V mission. NASA reported that billionaire businessman Jeff Bezos chose the space company Blue Origin for this important mission. It was also stated that the deal has a value of 3.4 billion dollars.
