Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez have announced their engagement. Sánchez will be the authoritative figure of an important project.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos continues to sign off on many significant projects with his space company, Blue Origin. The phenomenal businessperson signaled an intriguing flight earlier this year. Bezos is working on a project in which an all-female team, led by his significant business partner Lauren Sánchez, will go to space.

Marriage doesn’t disrupt the project, Lauren Sánchez is going to space in 2024

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez have been together since 2019. Sánchez, an experienced pilot, was announced to be leading the all-female crew on the New Shepard rocket. The couple announced their engagement at the Cannes Film Festival. Sánchez stated that this development in their private life would not affect the project and that the flight would take place as planned.

It is not yet known who will be on the flight with Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket. It was noted that the flight would cross a border called the Kármán line at an altitude of approximately 100 kilometers from the ground, taking place in the lowest part of space. The crew will stay in that region for about 15 minutes. Sánchez gave the following statements about the flight.

There will be women who make a difference in the world, are influential, and have a message to convey. I am very excited about this and a bit nervous. From the jump, I wanted to be inside the rocket at every moment of the project. I must say that Bezos is also excited to accomplish this with all these women.

On the other hand, it is necessary to state that Bezos also targets other significant projects. NASA continues its work for Artemis missions, which are human-carrying missions to the Moon. Today, he announced the company that will carry astronauts to the Moon in the Artemis V mission. NASA reported that it chose the space company named Blue Origin of billionaire businessperson Jeff Bezos for this significant task. Also, it was stated that the contract is worth 3.4 billion dollars.
