Gayle King prepares for her own space mission

Gayle King expressed her excitement over the recent return of NASA astronauts from the International Space Station. The astronauts safely landed back on Earth after spending nine months in space. Gayle is particularly thrilled as she prepares for her own upcoming space mission. She is in touch with her all-female crew from Blue Origin, which includes pop star Katy Perry, journalist Lauren Sánchez, NASA scientist Aisha Bowe, activist Amanda Nguyen, and producer Kerianne Flynn. Gayle says they are all ready and eager to launch into space soon. In an interview, Gayle talked about her feelings as the mission approaches. While she acknowledges some nerves, she seems enthusiastic about the adventure ahead. She also reflected on the struggles faced by astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams during their extended mission. They had a one-week plan that turned into a nine-month experience, which Gayle compared to a full-term pregnancy. She hopes her journey will be a smooth one, without unexpected delays.
