Katy Perry is going to space. The award-winning "E.T." and "Firework" singer will fly on a firework of her own when she joins the first all-female crew to launch on a Blue Origin New Shepard rocket later this year.

They will be aboard the New Shepard, the centerpiece rocket of Blue Origin’s space tourism business, in a launch this spring.

"CBS Mornings" co-host Gayle King revealed Thursday that she will be among the six passengers on Blue Origin's next history-making mission comprising all women.
