The new Shepard Blue Origin will take the entire female crew to the edge of space on April 14, 2025. As the star-studded group eagerly prepares for their flight, many on Earth wonder how long they will be in space. Below you will learn more about the Blue Origin flight.
The female crew of Blue Origin includes Katy Perry, Lauren Sanchez, Gayle King, Aisha Bowe, Amanda Nguyen, and Kerianne Flynn.
The entire female crew of Blue Origin will be at the edge of space, at an altitude of approximately 100 kilometers, for about 10 minutes. The group will experience weightlessness before descending and returning.
The famous crew unanimously stated that they have always wanted to go to space. Katy explained that she is «very excited about the engineering of all this», - speaking with ITV News before the launch on April 14, 2025.
«I look forward to learning more about STEM and just about the math needed to achieve these kinds of things», - said the «Firework» singer. «I have always been interested in astrophysics and have been interested in astronomy and astrology and stars», - she told the publication. «I feel like we are made of stardust and we all come from stars, and it will be exciting to see them twinkle from this place. And also to have such respect for Mother Earth when we see her in this way. Many people, not many, but people who have gone have had really deep things to say and brought ideas that have changed the world».
During a separate interview with Elle, Katy joked that her first reaction to receiving the invitation was, «What will I wear?»
«But seriously, I have wanted to go to space for almost 20 years», - said the pop star. «I explored all possible commercial options. Even when Blue Origin first talked about commercial space travel, I was like, 'Sign me up! I’m first in line.' And then they called me, and I was like, 'Really? I’m getting an invitation?'»
