Gayle King, Katy Perry and Lauren Sánchez Going to Space, Watch Live

Blue Origin is sending a bunch of women to the final frontier … and TMZ is streaming live as Gayle King, Katy Perry and Lauren Sanchez blast off into space.

One of Jeff Bezos‘ rockets — the New Shepard — was set to launch at 9:30 AM ET from West Texas … and the girl gang going into orbit also includes NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen, and film producer Kerianne Flynn. At 9:30 AM ET sharp, the ramp and scaffolding detached from the rocket. A minute later, the rocket launched successfully.

In the observation area prior to the launch, some celebrities were seen attending, including Kris Jenner, Kendall Jenner, and Oprah Winfrey. Bezos was also present.

Monday’s mission, dubbed NS-31, is the 11th human flight for Blue Origin … and the 31st overall for the Amazon founder’s space tourism venture.

Jeff has already been to space … and now it’s his fiancée’s turn.

The spaceflight will be relatively short … the women will travel 62 miles above Earth to the Kármán line, the boundary that separates our atmosphere from space … and after a few minutes of weightlessness in orbit, the capsule carrying the women will fall back to Earth.
