Katy Perry is heading to space! The pop superstar will be part of an all-female crew flying on Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin’s New Shepard NS-31 mission. The 40-year-old singer joins journalist Lauren Sanchez, rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, bio-astronautics researcher Amanda Nguyen, CBS Mornings co-host Gayle King, and film producer Kerianne Flynn.
Sanchez, who spearheaded the mission, shared her excitement, saying she hopes the journey will inspire people to "dream big." This marks the 11th human flight for the New Shepard program, which takes paying customers to the edge of space.
CBS Mornings teased King’s involvement, promising viewers could watch her "take to the skies" this spring. As Perry prepares to "shoot across the sky," this historic mission will highlight extraordinary women from diverse fields, inspiring future generations to reach for the stars.
