Lauren Sanchez, the body-positive icon and internationally beloved fiancée of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, thrust her way into the history books on Monday as part of the first all-female crew to travel to space.* Women around the world exuded feminist joy while watching Sanchez and her fellow crew members, including the notoriously buxom musical legend Katy Perry, bust through the atmosphere aboard a phallus-shaped rocket operated by Blue Origin, the Bezos-owned space firm. Gayle King, the CBS News journalist and Democratic donor, was also along for the ride.
“Space is going to finally be glam,” Perry told Elle magazine before the launch. “We are going to put the ‘ass’ in astronaut.” Celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey and Khloe Kardashian were on hand to witness the historic* occasion, adding gravitas.
The flight lasted 11 minutes, including 3 minutes in which the crew experienced zero gravity. The women could be heard shrieking and giggling throughout via an audio feed.
Minutes after touching down near the launch site in West Texas, Sanchez embraced Bezos in a romantic bear hug. Moments earlier, the billionaire humiliated himself by falling on his face. Fortunately, his lover did not appear to have suffered any of the complications some cosmetic surgeons warned could result from traveling to space with breast implants and lip filler.
In an interview conducted mere steps from the Blue Origin space capsule, Sanchez described feeling “complete and utter joy,” the same emotion that defined Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign. Asked to describe the profundity of spaceflight, the Bezos babe responded with Kamala-esque eloquence. “You look at [Earth] and you’re like, ‘We’re all in this together,'” she mused. “Like, all I could think about was, we’re so connected, more connected than you realize, because you just see right here, you see like, you know, states, and all these things that, like, divide us but we’re not [divided].”
Sanchez teared up at one point, and attributed the outpouring of emotion to “all the love that was in that capsule, and all the heart, and the feelings, and all the things.” It was her most memorable public appearance since Inauguration Day, when she exuded female empowerment in a “suffragette white” pantsuit and lacy corset, to the delight of feminists and fashion experts.
King, the lowly journalist, said the experience made her think about politics. Traveling to space for several minutes was “such a reminder that we need to do better” and “be better human beings,” she said. “It’s so nasty and so vitriolic nowadays. And, I mean, if everybody could experience that peace that we had up there, and the kindness, and what it takes to do what we did, [the world would be a better place].” The journalist was also very impressed with her own bravery. “I’m so proud of me right now!” King squealed.
The CBS News anchor described Harris as “uniquely qualified to be president,” and said the Democrat’s rise to power gave her “goosebumps.” She also donated $10,000 to Harris’s campaign for California attorney general in 2010. Some of her colleagues at CBS are reportedly annoyed with her frequent hobnobbing with Democratic politicians and celebrities. In 2017, for example, King joined Barack and Michelle Obama on a luxury yacht excursion with Tom Hanks, Bruce Springsteen, and her best friend Oprah. CBS journalists were “pissed and raving mad” about the excursion, according to the New York Post.
Perry, who yelled out, “Oh my goddess,” during the flight and sang “What a Wonderful World” in space, explained the experience in poetic fashion. “I wanted to model courage and worthiness and fearlessness,” she said. “I feel really connected to that strong divine feminine right now.”
The crew also included three non-celebrities who also happen to be women: film producer Kerianne Flynn, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen, and NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, who was also profoundly moved by the brief yet fabulous journey. “There’s no boundaries, there’s no borders,” she said. “There’s just Earth.”
* Technically, the first all-female spaceflight was in 1963, when Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova orbited the Earth on a solo mission. However, many have argued that because Tereshkova was a filthy communist, she doesn’t actually belong in the history books.
