Katy Perry… in space!

She will be accompanied by five other women, including Lauren Sanchez, Bezos’ fiancée.

The star expressed her excitement: «If you had told me that I would be part of the first ever all-female crew in space, I would have believed you. Nothing was beyond my imagination as a child. Although we didn’t grow up with much, I never stopped looking at the world with hopeful WONDER! I work hard to live my life that way still, and I am motivated more than ever to be an example for my daughter that women should take up space (pun intended). That’s why this opportunity is so incredible — so that I can show all of the youngest & most vulnerable among us to reach for the stars, literally and figuratively. I am honored to be among this diverse group of celestial sisters»

Katy Perry also shared with SiriusXM that her fiancé and father of her 4-year-old daughter, British actor Orlando Bloom, is excited about her space adventure.

Alongside Katy Perry and Lauren Sanchez will be Aisha Bowe, NASA scientist, and Gayle King, television host and author.

Kerianne Flynn, film producer, as well as Amanda Nguyen, founder of an NGO dedicated to fighting violence against women, will also be attending.

This is Blue Origin’s 11th mission. It will last about ten minutes.

On board the New Shepard rocket, the crew will fly along the Karman line, considered the boundary between the Earth’s atmosphere and space. According to the international scientific community, it is located about 100 km above sea level.

The company Blue Origin has already taken 52 people to space, including other celebrities such as ‘Good Morning America’ co-host Michael Strahan and ‘Star Trek’ actor William Shatner.

The price of such a journey, however, is kept secret.
