Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos' space exploration company Blue Origin announced its next human flight for its New Shepard program Thursday. The 11-minute suborbital flight is scheduled for sometime this spring.

The crew was selected by Bezos' fiancée and journalist Lauren Sánchez, who will be joined on the spacecraft by Katy Perry, Gayle King and other notable figures: scientist Amanda Nguyen, entrepreneur Aisha Bowe and filmmaker Kerianne Flynn.

Blue Origin says that this is the 11th human flight for the New Shepard program, and the 31st in its history. This is also the first all-female flight crew since Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova's solo spaceflight in 1963.

Question, why are we doing space tourism with sub-orbital shots? Why not put them in orbit for a while?

Cheaper. Go straight up and back down, smaller launch vehicle. Don't have to have as much, if any, heat shield protection because the re-entry velocity isn't as high.

No need for Katy Perry to leave earth, I have all the space in my pants she could want.

No need for Katy Perry to leave earth, I have all the space in my pants she could want.

Translation: "Katy Perry would be in awe of my micropenis"
