Katy Perry wrote history along with five other women, becoming part of the first exclusively feminine space mission, carried out by Blue Origin. The pop music singer kissed the ground on his return, although the flight lasted no more than 11 minutes.

The artist took off from Texas, in a rocket of the company founded by Jeff Bezos, along with Lauren Sanchez (Bezos’s fiancé), TV presenter Gayle King, civilian rights activist Amanda Nguyen, former Aisha Bowe aerospace engineer and Kerianne Flynn director, writes Daily Mail.
The flight, part of the New Shepard program and called NS-31, lasted 11 minutes and reached an altitude of 100 km, thus exceeding the Kármán line, the conventional border of the cosmic space.
This is the first spatial mission made up entirely of women from that of Valentine Tereșkova in 1963.
The song “What a Wonderful World”, sung at altitude
During the flight, Katy Perry offered his colleagues a musical moment, playing the song “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong. The voices were not clear in the live broadcast, but Gayle King confirmed the artist’s performance: “You have to ask Katy about this,” she said in the Blue Origin transmission.
Tears and emotion upon returning to earth
After the capsule returned to Earth, Lauren Sanchez was the first to get out of the capsule, greeted with a hug by his fiancé, Jeff Bezos. Visibly excited, it exclaimed: “Where are my babies?” And he said that “the land looks so deep.” Joking, he added: “I had to go back … I’m going to get married. ”
Katy Perry lowered the second of the capsule, holding a daisy in his hand and pointing to the sky. The artist then kissed the land, a gesture followed by the other crew members.
Prior to the space mission, the singer posted a video on Instagram, in which she wears a blue jumpsuit – the crew uniform. Katy has shown to the 204 million followers the interior of the capsule in which they have trained in recent days.
