Many have dreamed of going to space; some want to walk on the moon, and others think about taking a trip around Earth. But through Jeff Bezos‘ Blue Origin Enterprises, space tourism is possible. A famous all-female crew will be flying into space via the Blue Origin’s New Shepard, and one of them is mega star Katy Perry. The “California Gurls” hitmaker will join a group of accomplished women as they take flight into space. So, what is the purpose of their flight, and when is it happening?
Below, get all the details about Blue Origin’s all-female flight crew.
In addition to Katy, the rest of the all-female Blue Origin crew includes Lauren Sánchez, Gayle King, Aisha Bowe, Amanda Nguyen and Kerianne Flynn.
Lauren is a journalist who is engaged to Jeff; Gayle is a broadcast journalist and TV personality; Aisha is an aerospace engineer; Amanda is a civil rights activist and Kerianne is a film producer.
Katy, Gayle, Lauren, Aisha, Amanda and Kerianne are scheduled to lift off from Texas’ Launch Site One on April 14, 2025, at 8:30 a.m. local time.
Everyone can watch the celebrity crew lift off from Texas in a livestream on Blue Origin’s website, which begins about 90 minutes before takeoff. The launch will reportedly also be simulcast on YouTube and via the Blue Origin’s X account.
