On April 14, 2025, six fearless women launched into space aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket — and what happened next made headlines around the world.
The historic all-female crew included:
-
Lauren Sánchez, pilot, journalist, and fiancée of Jeff Bezos
-
Katy Perry, global pop sensation and women’s empowerment advocate
-
Gayle King, veteran journalist and beloved TV host
-
Aisha Bowe, aerospace engineer and former NASA rocket scientist
-
Amanda Nguyen, civil rights activist and space policy expert
-
Kerianne Flynn, award-winning producer and gender equity champion
The mission lasted just over 10 minutes, giving them a stunning view of Earth from space and a moment of true weightlessness. But it wasn’t just the flight that made waves.
You won’t believe what Katy Perry did when they came back to Earth. As the capsule landed and the hatch opened, instead of stepping out quietly like the others, Katy jumped out dancing, threw her arms in the air, and shouted, “THAT was out of this world!” She even pulled out a glittery flag that read “Powered by Women” — instantly going viral. 💫
The moment captured the energy and empowerment behind the mission. It wasn’t just a flight — it was a statement.
The entire event was emotional, powerful, and unforgettable. This wasn’t just a trip to space. It was a reminder that women belong at the forefront of exploration and innovation.
