The company says it's the first all-woman flight since the Soviet Union's Valentina Tereshkova’s solo spaceflight in 1963.

Blue Origin has flown tourists on short hops to space since 2021. Some passengers have gotten free rides, while others have paid a hefty sum to experience weightlessness. It was not immediately known who's footing the bill for this upcoming flight.

Blue Origin is launching the first all-female crew since 1963 when the Soviet Union sent cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova on a solo spaceflight.
