Katy Perry Heads to Space as Part of Historic All-Women Flight
Katy Perry will blast off into space on an upcoming all-women flight on Blue Origin's New Shepherd rocket, marking the first time since the Soviet Union's Valentina Tereshkova's solo mission in 1963 that a crew has comprised only women. The 11-minute suborbital flight will take passengers past the Karman line, internationally recognized as the edge of space, and is part of Blue Origin's NS-31 mission. This historic event is expected to inspire generations to come, with Lauren Sanchez credited for bringing the mission together.
