Katy Perry & All-Female Crew Fly to Space with Blue Origin

Pop sensation Katy Perry and five other women entered space on Monday and reached the end of the universe using one of billionaire Jeff Bezos's rockets.

On Monday, pop phenomenon Katy Perry and five other ladies took off on one of billionaire Jeff Bezos's rockets and made history by traveling to the edge of the cosmos. Filmmaker Kerianne Flynn, scientist Amanda Nguyen, Bezos's fiancée Lauren Sanchez, CBS journalist Gayle King, and former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe were among the crew. The first all-female spaceflight in almost 60 years was this trip.

The "Roar" singer and her team were launched more than 60 miles (100 kilometers) above the Earth's surface on a spacecraft owned by Blue Origin, the company founded by Bezos. They went across the famous Karman line, which delineates the edge of space.

According to a live webcast by Blue Origin, the spacecraft left West Texas at 9:31 a.m. ET. During the roughly 11-minute flight, the passengers briefly felt weightless before landing back on Earth.

The women traveled to space on Blue Origin's New Shepard spaceship, which has a capacity of six people and can make a brief trip outside of Earth's atmosphere. Since Blue Origin started the civilian program in 2021, up to 58 individuals, including Perry and her crew, have been to space on its spaceship.
