Blue Origin has flown tourists on short hops to space since 2021. Some passengers have gotten free rides, while others have paid a hefty sum to experience weightlessness. It was not immediately known who's footing the bill for this upcoming flight.

Blue Origin is launching an all-female crew into space that will include singer Katy Perry and morning news anchor Gayle King. The six women will get a 10-minute ride to space and back this spring. Their New Shepard rocket will depart from West Texas.

Pop star Katy Perry and CBS Mornings co-host Gayle King will be on board Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket for its 11th human flight to the edge of space.
