The Blue Origin All-Female Spaceflight

An all-female crew, including notable figures such as Lauren Sanchez and Gayle King, successfully completed an 11-minute flight with Blue Origin. The flight generated buzz not only for its historic crew but also for the glamorous presentation and snugly designed space outfits which were deemed sexy and slimming.
