Katy Perry explained why he brought with him a Margarita flower aboard his historic space mission.
On Monday, the 40 -year -old pop star participated in the first exclusively female spatial flight in Blue Origin. Headed by Lauren Sánchez, promised by Jeff Bezos, the team was composed of six women: Katy Perry, Lauren Sánchez, activist Amanda Nguyen, presenter Gayle King (CBS Mornings), The former Cometes scientist Aisha Bowe and film producer Kerianne Flynn.
The group made an 11 -minute space flight, making history as the first mission composed exclusively of women. Katy Perry, who was the second to descend from the rocket after Lauren Sánchez, raised a little Margarita towards the sky before kissing her.
In an interview after the flight, Perry shared that her four -year -old daughter, Dave Dove Bloom, proud her from the earth. It is important to note that the name Daisy means “Margarita” in Spanish.
“You took a real margarita to space,” said the reporter while she showed the white flower to the camera. “I understand that the Margarita represents your daughter, but why did you decide to take her with you?”
The ‘Firework’ singer replied: “Margaritas are common flowers, but they grow in any condition. They grow through cement, through cracks, through the walls.”
He added: “They are resistant, they are powerful, they are strong, they are everywhere. The flowers, for me, are the smile of God, but also a reminder of our beautiful earth, of the flowers that grow here and of the magic that exists around us, even in something as simple as a margarita.”
During his stay in space, Katy Perry also performed the iconic song ‘What a Wonderful World’, by Louis Armstrong.

“I had already versioned that song before,” he told the press. “And now I understand that my superior self always knew where I was going. I never imagined that I would sing it in space.”
“Going to space is incredible, and wanted to be an example of courage, courage and intrepidity.” He defined the moment as “reaching the top” and concluded with a powerful invitation:
“It is an experience that I would recommend a thousand times.”
The launch was held on Monday morning from the Blue Origin base, located in western Texas. It was a 11 -minute flight that allowed the crew to cross the Kármán line, the internationally recognized limit between the Earth’s atmosphere and the outer space.
It was the eleventh manned flight of the Blue Origin program, which has transported passengers to space since 2021, including the company’s own founder, billionaire Jeff Bezos.
