I am not brave. I’m sitting here terrified,” said journalist Gayle King in a Thursday interview with CBS News. “How can you be terrified and excited at the same time? But that is me.”

Katy Perry will "shoot across the sky" with Gayle King and Lauren Sánchez, along with a NASA rocket scientist, bioastronautics research scientist and a film producer.

Gayle King, Katy Perry and Jeff Bezos’ fiancée Lauren Sanchez are set to blast off into space for a historic launch with the Amazon CEO’s Blue Origin craft this spring.

Katy Perry, CBS News’ Gayle King and Jeff Bezos’ fiancée, Lauren Sánchez, are heading to space on Blue Origin’s historic all-women mission, the company announced Thursday.

Space company Blue Origin’s next mission will be powered by a history-making crew of heavy hitters, including journalist Gayle King, pop star Katy Perry and philanthropist Lauren Sánchez.

“I don’t know how to explain being terrified and excited at the same time. It’s like how I felt about to deliver a baby,” King said during the announcement on CBS Mornings. “I thought I wanted to open myself up to new adventures and step out of my comfort zone.”

The fiancé of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos certainly has an impressive phone book. Lauren Sanchez held a video call with the likes of talk show queen Gayle King and Grammy winner Katy Perry.
