Katy Perry Joins All-Female Space Crew Launching April 14

Katy Perry is set to make history as part of an all-female crew on Blue Origin's New Shepherd-31 mission, scheduled for April 14. The flight, which will last approximately 11 minutes and reach 62 miles above Earth, includes notable figures such as journalist Gayle King and Lauren Sánchez, Jeff Bezos' fiancée. The custom-designed blue space suits, created by Sánchez in collaboration with fashion designers Fernando Garcia and Laura Kim, are intended to challenge traditional space attire. Perry expressed her excitement and commitment to inspiring future generations with her journey, while Sánchez emphasized the need for suits that cater to women. Despite the brevity of the flight, the mission symbolizes a significant milestone in space exploration, being the first all-female trip since 1963. The crew is expected to experience a brief period of weightlessness and stunning views of the Earth.
