Pop star Katy Perry completed a brief foray into space Monday, April 14, roaring to the edge of the cosmos with an all-woman crew on one of billionaire Jeff Bezos’s rockets.
The “Firework” and “California Gurls” singer was lofted more than 60 miles (100 kilometers) above the Earth’s surface in a vessel from Blue Origin, the space company owned by the Amazon founder.
Five other women — including Bezos’s fiancee Lauren Sanchez — were on the flight, which took off from western Texas shortly after 8:30 a.m. (1330 GMT) before safely landing again some 10 minutes later.
The flight brought the passengers beyond the Karman line — the internationally recognized boundary of space.
