Blue Origin has launched a star-studded, all-woman crew into space on Monday — with global pop icon Katy Perry headlining the mission.
The space tourism company, founded by Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos, has sent six women beyond the Earth’s atmosphere aboard its New Shepard rocket.
Among the crew is Lauren Sanchez, Bezos’s fiancée, along with four other women. All were seen suited up and smiling in a video shared on social media earlier today, just ahead of the launch.
The crew will travel over 100 kilometres (62 miles) above the Earth, experiencing a few minutes of weightlessness before descending back to the surface.
