Katy Perry Is Going Into Space as Part of an All-Female Mission

Katy Perry is going into outer space.  Like, for real.  She’s joining an all-female crew on board one of Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin space flights.

She’ll be joined by Gayle King from “CBS Mornings”, Bezos’ fiancée Lauren Sanchez, and three other women:  An aerospace engineer, a civil rights activist, and a filmmaker.

Lauren reportedly brought the mission together.  The launch is tentatively scheduled for this spring.

She says she’s, quote, “honored to lead a team of explorers on a mission that will challenge their perspectives of Earth, empower them to share their own stories, and create lasting impact that will inspire generations to come.”

Katy posted a picture of the crew and said, quote, “I am honored to be among this diverse group of celestial sisters.”  (Variety)

In 2021, William Shatner went up in a Blue Origin craft and became the OLDEST person to travel into space.  This spring, Katy, Gayle, and Lauren can enter into a four-way tie with him for MOST POINTLESS EXPENDITURE OF MONEY.
