Katy Perry Is Set To Soar with Blue Origin This Spring

Katy Perry will join Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin’s first all-female spaceflight this spring, making history as one of the latest celebrities to take flight.

This remarkable crew will set a record with the mission, marking the first of its kind since Valentina Tereshkova’s historic solo journey in 1963. Gayle King, co-host of CBS, and Lauren Sanchez, Jeff Bezos’s fiancée, will accompany Perry on this unique mission. The trio will fly alongside Aisha Bowe, an aerospace engineer, Kerianne Flynn, a film producer, and Amanda Nguyen, a prominent civil rights activist, totaling six members for this mission.

Their journey redefines space travel, showing it’s no longer just for career astronauts. Since its launch, Blue Origin has sent 52 people to space. Similarly, the New Shepard’s autonomous system ensures safety and efficiency without the need for pilots. These brief missions offer a glimpse of the cosmos past the Kármán line, which defines the start of outer space.

The NS-31 crew unites diverse expertise for a shared journey beyond Earth. This mission also strengthens the role of private space companies’ role in expanding human spaceflight. Blue Origin’s partnership with inclusive missions like this one opens doors for more opportunities in space. The upcoming flight marks a major step forward, proving that the future of space belongs to all.

The pop star is excited to join this innovative space mission and, as a result, is eager to inspire others to aim high and reach for the stars. As Perry recently stated on Instagram, “That’s why this opportunity is so incredible — so that I can show all of the youngest and most vulnerable among us to reach for the stars, literally and figuratively. I am honored to be among this diverse group of celestial sisters.” Her excitement fuels the anticipation surrounding her groundbreaking journey.

Though the exact date isn’t set, keep an eye out for the launch this spring as people build anticipation for this historic mission.
