Lauren Sanchez On Her Space Mission: "Fly Fast; Take Chance"

Just two years after Jeff Bezos' divorce from MacKenzie Scott, Lauren Sanchez is sharing insight into her relationship with the billionaire Amazon founder and announcing big plans for the future.

In a new interview with the Wall Street Journal, Sanchez inspired many as she detailed her upcoming space mission with an all-female crew, which she plans to launch by early 2024.

"We love to be together and work together," Sanchez explained. "We fly together. We work out together. We're together all the time."

Sanchez went on to detail their humorous relationship, explaining, "He's really funny. He makes me laugh all the time. He can be goofy. When I first heard his laugh, I was like, ‘Whoa! What is that?’ Now I love it."

But Bezos' Sunday mornings have a more down-to-earth tone. For years he has made "the best pancakes in the world," according to Sanchez.

Bezos is encouraging of Sanchez and excited to follow the footsteps he has taken on Blue Origin's New Shepard suborbital spaceship. "Fly fast; take chances," has become Bezos' motto.

The identities of Sanchez's five crewmates will remain hidden until nearer to the launch date. "I'm super-excited about it. And a little nervous," Sanchez said.

Together Sanchez and Bezos are also coupling their philanthropic goals and working on ways to make an impact in the world.
