Pop star Katy Perry became one of the few civilians to travel to space aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard spacecraft on Monday. In a post on X after her return, Perry wrote, “There’s no place like home,” accompanied by a heart and an Earth emoji, signalling her relief and gratitude for being back.
Earlier, she described the journey as “emotional,” saying it was “second only to being a mum.” During the short trip, she even sang “What a wonderful world,” a moment she described as deeply moving.
She also said it wasn’t just a physical journey but a personal one, revealing to her just how much love she has to give—and how much she’s surrounded by it.
Perry returned safely to Earth after a roughly 10-minute sub-orbital flight, which took her more than 100 kilometres above the planet’s surface.
It was Blue Origin’s 11th human spaceflight and its first all-female crewed mission. The crew briefly experienced weightlessness as they crossed the Kármán line, the internationally recognised boundary of space.
Perry was joined by journalist Gayle King, Jeff Bezos’ fiancée Lauren Sánchez, ex-Nasa rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, civil rights advocate Amanda Nguyen, and film producer Kerianne Flynn.
