                    Handout photo shows Portrait of Gayle King, American journalist during BlueOrigin New Shepard-31 Portrait Card Crew. On April 14, 2025, Blue Origin will launch the New Shepard-31 (NS-31) mission, marking a historic moment with the first all-female crew since Valentina Terechkova's flight in 1963. On board: Aisha Bowe, Amanda Nguyen, Gayle King, Katy Perry, Kerianne Flynn and Lauren Sanchez, six women with inspiring backgrounds in science, civil rights, media, culture, film and children's literature. Each is symbolically represented on the mission patch, illustrating the values of surpassing oneself, commitment and creativity. The launch is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. CDT (1:30 p.m. UTC) from Texas. This suborbital flight, the 31st in the New Shepard program and the 11th crewed, will extend Blue Origin's initiative to democratize access to space, having already carried 52 people beyond the Karman line.
