“Ms. King is headed to space, okay,” said astrologer Ashley Sipes in a TikTok. post, per the U.K.’s Daily Mail. “She’s getting in a rocket mid-spring, I believe, I don’t know the exact date, so we’re going April 15 and her gut is telling her not to go, and I’m telling her not to go. I’m not saying something terrible or tragic is going to happen, but this just doesn’t feel right to me.”
Sipes then goes on about some astrological information indicating a warning about “accident and violence in travel.”
“‘Not trying to be negative or fearmonger,” said the astrologer. “I think it’s great if this is what she wants, but in the video she’s clearly upset, and that in combination makes me extremely distraught as well.’
Last Thursday, the 70-year-old news anchor revealed she’s joining Lauren Sanchez and Katy Perry and an all-women crew heading to space briefly in one of Jeff Bezos’ rocket ships this spring.
However, King told her co-hosts she’s terrified but agreed to go after consulting her kids and pal Oprah Winfrey.
“I don’t know how to explain being terrified and excited at the same time. It’s like how I felt about to deliver a baby,” the anchor said.
“Once Kirby and Will and Oprah was fine with it, I was fine. I thought Oprah would say no, no. She said, ‘I think if you don’t do it, when they all come back and you had the opportunity to do it, you will be kicking yourself.’ She’s right.”
Former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe is also in the Blue Origin rocket ship along with civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen and film producer Kerianne Flynn.
Some folks have suggested King is a hypocrite for accepting a free ride valued at $300,000 from the Trump-supporting Bezos.
Former CNN media analyst Oliver Darcy wrote King’s space trip “seem(s) like a conflict of interest,” given CBS News strict policies on its anchors accepting freebies.
Over on BlueSky, another person joked;: “I would not touch that (dude’s) rocket with a barge poll.”
