Jeff Bezos' fiance⁘, Lauren Sanchez, is sharing footage from her first call with the all-female crew with whom she will launch into space.
The 55-year-old is part of the first all-women space crew on one of her billionaire fianc⁘'s Blue Origin rockets. The other five women include pop star Katy Perry, CBS Morning's mainstay Gayle King , aerospace engineer Aisha Bowe, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen, and film producer Kerianne Flynn.
Sanchez, a licensed pilot herself, posted an Instagram reel on Friday, March 7, showcasing the first video call between the women.
"I'm getting introduced to the entire team that we have put together. I really believe that all of these women are storytellers," Sanchez told the camera before logging into the meeting. "They're gonna come back and be able to share that story and also inspire a new generation of explorers."
Once she joined the call, Sanchez told the women, "I just kind of want everyone to take a deep breath and soak this all in for a second. Today, you guys, we're a crew!"
King, 70, expressed some reservations about their future flight, asking, "Is anyone else nervous? Or am I the only nervous Nelly?" The 40-year-old "Roar" singer chimed in, "I'll be a little nervous, but I'll be looking at y'all."
"We're all gonna come back with this profound love of Earth, and we're gonna be able to share that with the world and hopefully touch everyone in a small way that they'll wanna help save the planet," she told her fellow crew.
