Here are the details of Katy Perry's journey into space.

In an adventure the world has not seen since 1963, pop star Katy Perry and five other women embarked on a historic spaceflight aboard the New Shepard rocket, organized by Jeff Bezos's company, Blue Origin. The short, ten-minute journey transformed moments into human glory, capped by sound, song, and a kiss on Earth.

All-female cast: from movie stars to space scientists

The trip included six pioneering women in their fields: along with Katy Perry, veteran journalist Gayle King, activist and media personality Lauren Sanchez, former rocket scientist Aisha Boe, human rights activist Amanda Nguyen, and film producer Kerianne Flynn. The goal of the trip was to inspire future generations and honor the contributions of women in various fields, from the arts to the sciences.

Katy Perry sings from space: "What a wonderful world"

Despite repeated requests from her bandmates, Katy waited for the perfect moment to sing: after gravity disappeared. Suddenly, “What a Wonderful World” rose among the stars. Perry wasn’t singing to impress her audience, but to send a message of love and peace to planet Earth. As she later said, “It’s not about me… I wanted to honor the world.”

Moment of return: a kiss to the ground and a hug from the family

Upon landing, Perry made a spontaneous yet symbolic gesture: She knelt on the ground and kissed it. She was greeted by her fiancé, Orlando Bloom, and their daughter, Daisy, who watched the launch from nearby. A human moment that encapsulated so much: gratitude, love, and triumph.

A Journey Through the Eyes of Lauren Sanchez: “The Earth Seemed So Quiet”

Sanchez, who helped organize the flight, described it as “an invitation to dream big.” In a moving statement, she said, “I don’t have words to describe it. We saw the moon, and the Earth seemed calm.” This experience, as everyone expressed, was more than just a space adventure…it was confirmation that dreams know no bounds.
