Twenty years back, space travel was something cool you see only astronauts perform. But today it is not so. Space travel is not just a dream, but it is made a reality by many people. From celebrities to space enthusiasts, many have flown to space over the past years. And more including, Jeff Bezos‘s partner Lauren Sanchez is planning to go to space in recent future.
Jeff Bezos had already had his maiden 10-minute flight in July last year aboard the New Shepherd rocket. The billionaire wore a blue standard flight suit and a cowboy hat. He was accompanied by his brother, Mark, and two other passengers. He safely landed in Texas and was welcomed with open arms by his girlfriend Sanchez. Now it is Sanchez’s turn to explore the space with an all-girls crew.

As her partner has already had his maiden flight, now Lauren Sanchez is planning to make hers. Sanchez is a helicopter pilot and owner of the aerial film firm, Black Ops Aviation. It was in an interview published on Monday that she confirmed traveling to space sometime next year. That too she expects to fly with an all-female crew. The journalist hasn’t revealed any specific potential crewmates. She also rejected the possibility of Bezos joining her on her space trip.
A series of civilian trips to space have occurred over the past year after Bezos had his maiden flight. It is Blue Origin, the space exploration firm owned by the billionaire that undertook these missions. Celebrities were also part of the earlier launches. This included NFL legend and media person Michael Strahan and ‘Star Trek’ star William Shatner. Comedian Pete Davidson backed out ahead of the launch date.

It was in an interview that Sanchez revealed her plan to go on a space trip. In the same interview, Bezos also informed his plan to give away $124 billion to charity during his lifetime. He also addressed the issues of pollution and space privatization. To “move all polluting industries off Earth” is a long-term goal that the business tycoon has set for his company Blue Origin. “We go to space not to abandon our home but to protect it,” Bezos said.“Consider energy. In space, the sun always shines, and we can collect energy in almost unlimited amounts. Energy and other resources can be harvested and used in space without harming the Earth. Earth is a garden that should be tended,” the entrepreneur added.
