Oprah Winfrey got excited about his best friend Gayle King’s Blue Origin Flight on Monday morning.
The former interview programs presenter was filmed by breaking in tears when the rocket took off with King, Lauren Sánchez, Katy Perry and more women inside.
Winfrey, 71, explained the live door that “has never been more proud” or its red after almost 50 years of friendship.
“Because this is bigger than going to space for her,” said Winfrey, adding that every time King, 70, is on a plane, she ends “in someone’s lap if it is the slightest turbulence.”
The media magnate said that the space flight would be “cathartic in many ways” for the king when he overcame “a fear wall, a barrier.”
The host of “CBS Mornings”, in particular, kissed the ground when landing.
Winfrey, who agitates yellow as a tribute to the king, wanted her friend to go to space so that she would not “regret” the lost opportunity later.
She said: “I think life is about continuing to become the best of you and the most complete expression of yourself. And … I made it want to listen to her for the next 50 years,” he would like to have been. “
Winfrey remembered Count King: “There are only once all women go for the first time. There will be other trips, but there is only a first time, so being a pioneer is great.”
King was appointed as one of the registration flight members in February.
“I don’t know how to explain Bee terrified and excited at the same time. It’s how I felt about to deliver a baby,” he said at that time, he added that he spoke with his children and Winfrey before making his decision.
Before the rocket took off, King was seen with a visible appearance stressed in a high fashion space suit.
King enthusiastically celebrated the landing on Monday, saying that “still floated” and “I couldn’t believe” what he had achieved.
“The flight instructor said I am his best success story … because they never had the terrified course of flying,” he said.
“All who have gone through the course have had this life of a lifetime, they wanted to do it,” King added. “I am very proud or me right now!”
