Katy Perry, Gayle King Plan All-Female Space Flight April 14

Katy Perry and Lauren Sánchez, along with an all-female crew including Gayle King and former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, are preparing for a historic Blue Origin space flight on April 14, which marks the first all-women space mission since 1963. They plan to embrace a glamorous aesthetic during the journey, with Sánchez humorously stating they will 'put the ‘a**’ in astronaut.' King has expressed feelings of trepidation about the flight, comparing her nervousness to childbirth, but remains excited about the unique experience. The crew's diversity showcases the multifaceted roles women can play in fields traditionally dominated by men, as highlighted by activist Amanda Nguyen. This flight will also feature a cover story in ELLE magazine, marking a significant moment for representation in space exploration. The mission, set to reach the Kármán line, will last about 11 minutes and aims to inspire future generations of women in STEM.
