Katy Perry launches into space with all-female crew on Blue Origin

Katy Perry, Lauren Sanchez among Blue Origin's all-female crew to space

Pop star Katy Perry comes out of the capsule in which she, journalist Gayle King, Lauren Sanchez (billionaire Jeff Bezos' fiancee) and other participants landed back on Earth after blasting off into space on a Blue Origin rocket.

Pop star Katy Perry and five other women launched into space on a Blue Origin rocket and successfully returned to Earth on Monday, marking the first all-female spaceflight in more than 60 years.

The crew lifted off from West Texas at 9:31 a.m. ET and traveled to the edge of space, where they experienced a brief period of weightlessness before returning to Earth in a flight lasting around 11 minutes, according to a live broadcast by Blue Origin, the space company founded by billionaire Jeff Bezos.
