Singer Katy Perry will fly aboard Blue Origin’s NS-31 mission in spring 2025, marking the first all-female astronaut crew since 1963. Led by Jeff Bezos' fiancée Lauren Sanchez, the mission includes CBS anchor Gayle King, activist Amanda Nguyen, producer Kerianne Flynn, and ex-NASA scientist Aisha Bowe. Perry, a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, hopes to inspire young dreamers. The New Shepard rocket will offer four minutes of weightlessness. “I hope my journey inspires my daughter,” Perry stated. Blue Origin’s 11th human flight follows past celebrity missions featuring William Shatner and Michael Strahan.
