Katy Perry & Gayle King’s Galactic Girls Trip Makes History
First All-Female Space Crew Since 1963 Soars with Blue Origin. Pop star Katy Perry and broadcast legend Gayle King just returned from a literal out-of-this-world experience—and yes, Katy says a song is definitely on the way.
The two icons were part of a history-making all-female space crew, launching and landing safely Monday morning aboard Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin New Shepard rocket. Also on board? Bezos’ fiancée Lauren Sánchez and three other powerhouse women whose names are now forever written in the stars.
This marks the first time since 1963 that an all-female crew has entered space, a throwback to when Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman to orbit Earth on a solo flight. Since then, space has had many female visitors—but never a crew like this.
The mission has been making waves for weeks, not only for its historic significance but for the celebrity stardust sprinkled all over it. With scientists, entrepreneurs, and celebs alike taking trips aboard Blue Origin since 2021, this might be the most headline-grabbing launch yet.
And according to Perry? There’s no way she’s letting this experience float away without turning it into music.
