On April 14, 2025, something amazing happened—Katy Perry, Lauren Sánchez, and Gayle King went to space! They were part of a special all-women crew on Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket. The trip lasted about 11 minutes and took them just past the edge of space before safely returning to Earth.
First Photos from Space 🌍✨
The first pictures from the flight are incredible! Katy Perry was floating around holding a daisy, looking totally in awe. Lauren Sánchez, who is engaged to Jeff Bezos (the guy behind Amazon and Blue Origin), was smiling ear to ear. Gayle King, who admitted she’s usually afraid of flying, looked so excited and proud.
A Historic Moment 🚀
This was a big deal—it’s the first time since 1963 that an all-women crew has gone to space. The team also included Amanda Nguyen, who became the first Vietnamese woman in space. She even did mini science experiments during the flight!
Space Suits with Style 👩🚀✨
The women wore cool blue space suits designed by Monse, with help from a Hollywood costume team. They were made to be both stylish and practical—perfect for making history and looking good doing it.
Celeb Support from Earth 🌟
Back on the ground, a crowd of celebrities and family members watched the launch. Oprah was there cheering on her best friend Gayle. Khloé Kardashian and Kris Jenner came to support Lauren, and Katy’s fiancé Orlando Bloom was there with their daughter.
This flight wasn’t just about going to space—it was about showing the world that women belong in science, space, and anywhere they want to go. Total girl power moment! 💫👩🚀💪
