The first image of Blue Origin’s all-female crew floating in zero gravity has been released.

As they marveled at the moon, the crew—which included pop sensation Katy Perry and Jeff Bezos’ fiancée Lauren Sánchez—were seen turning upside down in the capsule.

The 11-minute mission, which began Monday at 9:30 am ET from West Texas, involved the six women spending three minutes in zero gravity.

Perry held up a patch that represented the Bahamas and displayed the daisy she brought with her to honor her daughter, NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe.

In the video, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyne was seen grinning while floating weightlessly, and filmmaker Kieranne Flynn was seen gazing out the window at an Earth that was dazzlingly glowing in the blackness of space.

Screams could be heard both during the’soft’ landing back on the ground and as they shot into space on the New Shepard rocket, but inside the capsule, everyone was smiling.

However, Bezos stumbled in a ditch while hurrying to open the capsule door, causing some turbulence as he greeted the returning crew.

Following their safe return, Perry took the lead in the festivities by descending to the ground and planting a kiss on the Texas soil. Her fellow crew members followed suit.



After their historic space flight, Perry and company were swiftly released from the capsule by a recovery team.

As Bezos stepped out of the capsule and hurried to her family, Sánchez gave her a hug.

Perry later described how she was overcome with emotion during the journey and held up a daisy flower as soon as she exited the capsule.

“It is the greatest high,” Perry remarked, “and it is trust and surrender to the unknown.” I have nothing but praise for this experience.

Despite being common flowers, daisies can grow in any kind of environment. They’re tough. They have strength. The pop star went on, “They are strong.”

‘What a Wonderful World’ was sung by Perry in the spacecraft.

Singing my songs isn’t the point. There is a collective energy at play. It concerns us. In a post-flight interview, she stated, “It’s about taking up space and belonging and creating space for future women.”

“And it’s about appreciating this amazing world that we see out there.” All of this is done for the good of Earth.

A recovery team was quickly dispatched to the capsule to release Perry and company following their historic space flight.

Sánchez hugged Bezos as she emerged from the capsule and quickly ran to her family.

Perry held up a daisy flower as soon as she stepped out of the capsule and later explained how she was overwhelmed by emotion during the trip.

‘It is the highest high,’ Perry said, ‘and it is surrender to the unknown, trust. … I couldn’t recommend this experience more.’

‘Daisies are common flowers, but they grow through any condition… They are resilient. They are powerful. They are strong,’ the popstar continued.

Perry sang ‘What a Wonderful World’ while in the space capsule.

‘It’s not about singing my songs. It’s about a collective energy in there. It’s about us. It’s about making space for future women and taking up space and belonging,’ she said in a post-flight interview.

‘And it’s about this wonderful world that we see right out there and appreciating it. This is all for the benefit of Earth.’








Although King was visibly anxious about the mission on Monday, he discovered that the area was “quiet and peaceful.”

King stated: “I still can’t accept that word,” even though she is able to claim “astronaut” status.

A star-studded audience, including Oprah, who was crying as she watched King, her best friend, take the sub-orbital flight, watched anxiously as the craft shot into space.

Attendees included the Kardashian family, who made jokes about launching their reality show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, into space.

“It’s amazing,” Khloe Kardashian said to the Blue Origin media team. It’s breathtaking. And I feel like I’m just standing here with all this adrenaline.

“When you get back, I want to hear how it has changed you,” Bezos was heard saying just prior to the launch. All of you are loved.

At 9:30 am ET, the rocket’s lone BE-3PM engine exploded during liftoff, launching the crew into space.

The engine produces only water vapor while burning a mixture of liquid hydrogen and oxygen, producing about 50,000 kg of force.

The rocket reached over 2,000 miles per hour, or more than twice the speed of sound, in a matter of minutes.

As the rocket approaches its point of maximum stress, or Max-Q in aerospace engineering, the forces acting on the capsule and the crew will be tremendous.

As the booster accelerates, Perry and her fellow astronauts felt three times the force of gravity, according to Blue Origin.



Following the six-woman crew’s landing in the New Shepard capsule, Blue Origin CEO Dave Limp posted a photo of the women with Bezos and himself.

Bezos and Sánchez have now both visited space thanks to the flight, which was the 11th crewed mission of its New Shepard capsule.

After a successful flight, the capsule returned the group shortly after 9:40 am ET, safely landing a few miles from the launch site.

Since the solo spaceflight of Russian astronaut Valentina Tereshkova in 1963, this is the first all-female space mission.

The New Shepard vehicle’s flight on Monday marked the 31st mission for Blue Origin, which has been launching commercial spacecraft since 2015.

Hollywood actress Olivia Munn, who attacked the mission during an appearance on Today With Jenna And Friends earlier this month, was among those who disapproved of it despite all the fanfare on Monday.

Jenna and Munn started the conversation by pointing out the group’s most recent Elle cover, and Olivia began to comment but stopped herself.

“Then, what are they doing?” she asked. For example, why? Do you understand what I mean? The live audience laughed a little at that.

“There are a lot of other things that are really important in the world right now, but I know that this is probably not the cool thing to say.”

There has been a lot of conjecture that Sánchez has breast implants, but she has not confirmed this. There are also indications that she may have had a facelift, lip fillers, and Botox, according to plastic surgeons who spoke to DailyMail.com.

This has recently sparked debate about whether space travel, zero gravity, or other unidentified factors could have a detrimental effect on these cosmetic procedures or even endanger the astronauts’ health.

More than the brief period in zero gravity, one physician voiced some apprehension about Monday’s spaceflight due to the tremendous strain during takeoff.

“I would be more concerned about the rocket launch,” Dr. Stanton Gerson, who studies the effects of deep space on cells, told DailyMail.com.

You travel at roughly 6,000 mph, which can result in shear stress and possibly cause something to shift.

Notwithstanding the worries, it seemed that all six women were healthy following their flight and showed no signs of suffering from their brief experience in zero gravity.
