Gayle King, Please Don’t Go to Space


We know another billionaire you can hang out with on April 14 instead.

It was announced today on CBS Mornings that King’s trip on one of Jeff Bezos’s phallic Blue Origin rockets will lift off on April 14 at 9:30 a.m. She’ll be joined by an all-female crew that includes former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe; civil-rights activist Amanda Nguyen; film producer Kerianne Flynn; Bezos’s fiancée, Lauren Sánchez; and “E.T.” singer Katy Perry. She attempted to assuage those communal fears this morning, saying, “I’m intending to come back.” But if she really wants the adrenaline rush of traveling somewhere with a billionaire, we instead recommend she just do another road trip with Oprah.
