Pop star Katy Perry will join Blue Origin’s first all-female space flight, alongside Jeff Bezos’ fiancée Lauren Sanchez, CBS anchor Gayle King, former NASA scientist Aisha Bowe, activist Amanda Nguyen, and producer Kerianne Flynn.
Blue Origin stated that this will be the first all-female space mission since Valentina Tereshkova’s solo flight in 1963. The NS-31 mission, lasting 11 minutes, will cross the Kármán line before returning to Earth. While no exact date was announced, the launch is expected before Perry’s concert tour, which begins on April 23.
