Blue Origin's eleventh crewed space flight, scheduled for April 14, 2023, will not receive the extensive media coverage typical of historic launches. This mission is notable for featuring an all-female crew of six, including pop star Katy Perry and journalist Lauren Sanchez. This marks the first all-female launch crew since Valentina Tereshkova's solo flight in 1963. While female astronauts are becoming increasingly common, Blue Origin's flight symbolizes progress in space exploration diversity, though the event is expected to attract minimal public attention compared to inaugural missions like Alan Shepard's first American spaceflight in 1961.
"The flight will carry six diverse women, including pop star Katy Perry and journalist Lauren Sanchez, marking a milestone as the first all-female crew since Tereshkova's 1963 flight."
"While previous crewed flights garnered extensive media attention, Blue Origin's upcoming launch on April 14 is likely to go largely unnoticed by the global audience."
