“It’s supernatural… Extraterrestrial”
On this historic mission, Blue Origin’s spacecraft NS-31 launched an all-female crew into space — the first all-women mission since 1963. That earlier mission also featured an exclusively female crew.
Katy Perry in Space
Yes, you read that right — Katy Perry joined Blue Origin’s historic 2025 spaceflight. The mission launched on Monday from West Texas. Perry was joined by a group of prominent women: Lauren Sánchez, Gayle King, former NASA scientist Aisha Bowe, Kerianne Flynn, and Amanda Nguyen. All were part of the groundbreaking journey.
After the 10-minute flight, Katy Perry exited the spacecraft and kissed the ground in celebration of a successful landing.
A Nostalgic Trip for Her Daughter
As she stepped out of the capsule, Perry was seen still holding a daisy — a symbolic gesture. She later explained that she participated in the mission for her daughter. I brought a daisy because I have so much love for my daughter Daisy,” she said and shared how the Earth is a beautiful place, and just like a daisy, it is incredibly resilient.
Blue Origin: NS-31
Blue Origin is a private aerospace company founded by Jeff Bezos in 2000, headquartered in Kent, Washington. The company envisions a future where millions of people live and work in space. Over the years, Blue Origin has built its reputation by prioritizing safety, reusability, and innovation in spaceflight technology. Its mission is to drastically reduce the cost of space access by developing fully reusable rockets.
The NS-31 spacecraft carried the crew beyond the Kármán line — the internationally recognized boundary of space at 100 kilometers above Earth. The mission lasted approximately 10 minutes. During the flight, the detachable crew capsule separated from the booster mid-flight, then safely re-entered Earth’s atmosphere with the help of parachutes and retro rockets.
Katy Perry has been candid about how meaningful the experience was. She said that if someone had told her as a child she’d be part of the first all-female crew in space, she would’ve believed it — because nothing was beyond her imagination.
