Jeff Bezos' Blue Origins is ready to make history on Monday as it launches its first all-female spaceflight, handpicked by Lauren Sánchez, Amazon founder's fiance. The mission, called NS-31, will take off from West Texas, marking the first time in spaceflight history that an all-woman crew takes to the skies. Before this, the Soviet Union's Valentina Tereshkova went to space in a 1963 mission and became the first woman to fly in space.
According to Blue Origins' website, the NS-31 flight is scheduled for launch at 9:30 a.m. EDT (1330 GMT) from the company's launch site and will be its 11th crewed mission.
