Gayle King, Katy Perry and Lauren Sánchez will join three other women on the next mission from Jeff Bezos' rocket company, Blue Origin announced Thursday.
The 11th crewed flight of the company's New Shepard rocket is set to blast off this spring, it said, without giving a date.
"CBS Mornings" co-host King; Sánchez, Bezos’ girlfriend; and pop star Perry will fly alongside former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, bioastronautics research scientist Amanda Nguyen and movie producer Kerianne Flynn in the all-female crew of six.
"CBS Mornings" announced King's journey in humorous fashion, using a "Star Wars"-like typeface and opening crawl. King, 70, said she initially refused the trip after she was approached, then had a change of heart.
"I'm so afraid, but I'm also so excited about it. When they asked me, and they asked me around Thanksgiving, I was like, 'no, no, no.' Then I started thinking about it," she said. "And I just thought what a unique opportunity."
