Katy Perry's Space Odyssey: A Historic All-female Crew Or Just A Celebrity Stunt?

The world watched with interest as American pop star Katy Perry made history as part of an all-female crew launching into space on Blue Origins New Shepard NS-31 spacecraft.

The mission took place on Monday, April 13, which marked a significant milestone as the first all-female space crew since Valentina Tereshkovas historic solo flight in 1963.

The six-women crew included pop star Katy Perry, Jeff Bezos fiance Lauren Sanchez, Journalist Gayle King, film producer Kerianne Flynn, former NASA scientist Aisha Bowe, and founder of a campaign group against sexual violence, Amanda Nguyen.

During their brief trip, Katy Perry reportedly sang a rendition of Louis Armstrongs What A Wonderful World in space and even unveiled her Lifetimes tour set list on camera.

The crew traveled to the edge of space. Blue Origin has shared videos of the crew floating for a short time before returning to Earth in a flight lasting around 11 minutes, according to a live broadcast by Blue Origin.
