Katy Perry is back from space. He made today aboard the New Shepard, a Navicella of the Blue Origin Spatial Flights company owned by Jeff Bezos, a suborbital flight lasting about 11 minutes that led it to overcome the Kármán line which, at about 100 kilometers of altitude, conventionally marks the border between the terrestrial atmosphere and space.
On board the New Shepard there was an entirely feminine crew, the first since 1963, the year of the first flight of a woman in the space, Valentina Testhkova. In addition to the pop star there were Lauren Sánchez (Reporter and girlfriend of Bezos), Gayle King (presenter of the CBS), Aisha Bowe (former scientist NASA), Amanda Nguyen (activist), Kerianne Flynn (film producer).

Perry came out of the capsule with a daisy in his hand, knelt down and kissed the earth. “I feel super-confirmed with love. This experience has shown that we don't really know how much love there is within us, how much love we have to give and how much we are loved ». He defined it the best experience of his life, second only to motherhood.
During the flight Perry intoned What to Wonderful World And not a song of hers. “Because it's not about me or my songs. It is a collective energy. It is about us. It is a matter of making room for women of the future, of occupying space, of belonging. And it is a question of appreciating this wonderful world that we see out there ».
