Has the ‘roaaaar’ been heard in space? Katy Perry was part of a historic trip to space, in which she shared a cabin with Gayle King and Laura Sanchez, the fiance of Jeff Bezos, whose Blue Origin company organized the exit of the purely feminine crew.
The New Shepard rocket took off on the rapid trip round trip from western Texas. It took them about 105 kilometers high, offering beautiful minutes of ingrability.
Sanchez, a helicopter pilot and television experimentist, invited the others for the 10 -minute flight, completely automated, adding to be able to star with singer and songwriter Katy Perry and the co -presenter of ‘CBS Mornings’ King.
Kerianne Flynn film producer also shared the trip; Aisha Bowe, A NASA exingeneone that founded its own companies to promote scientific education; and Amanda Nguyen, a scientist who studied planets around other stars and now advocates survivors of sexual violence.
It was the eleventh human space flight for the company based in the state of Washington, founded by Bezos in 2000, after making a fortune with Amazon. Jeff Bezos fought his belt for the first Blue Origin space tourist flight in 2021 and accompanied the last crew to the platform.
How many women have traveled to space?
The launch of celebrities was the first space flight in the country where women occupied each seat. The only other completely feminine crew in 64 years of human spatial flights was in 1963.
It was then when The Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova She was launched alone, becoming the first woman in space. Tereshkova spent three days out of the planet.
Even after the last launch, women represent only 15 percent of the more than 700 people who have traveled to space. Sanchez explained that he deliberately chose women to launch with her, each of them anxious to inspire both young and old to dream big, and even commissioned special flight costumes.
“It is an important moment for the future of commercial spaces and for humanity in general and for women around the world,” Perry told The Associated Press last week.
Most Blue Origin passengers – 58 counting the last launch – have been types of businesses or science, television presenters or youtubers. Ticket prices are not disclosed.
How much did Katy Perry’s trip cost to space?
AP indicated that Blue Origin refused to say how much the flight cost or who paid what. The trip occurred two months before Sanchez and Bezos married in Venice.
However, according to Bloomberg, The Blue Origin company has not made public the cost of the trip in which Katy Perry participatedbut the costs could be millionaires, since in 2021 an expedition was carried out that was auctioned at 28 million dollars.
Bloomberg said that to reserve a commercial trip to the space with Blue Origin, a form must be filled and leave a deposit of 150 thousand dollars and hence the price, such as the million dollars that another passenger paid.
