Katy Perry is about to blast off like a firework on her Blue Origin rocket launch this Monday.
Blue Origin will launch its eleventh crewed flight on April 14, with pop star Katy Perry strapping into the New Shepard space capsule alongside five other passengers, all of them women. The mission, NS-31, will be the first all-female crew since the Soviet Union's Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman in space during a solo flight in 1963.
"Im really excited about the engineering of it all," Perry told the Associated Press, adding that she's been listening to Carl Sagan's "Cosmos" and reading about string theory. "I've always been interested astrophysics and interested in astronomy and astrology and the stars." You can watch Blue Origin's Katy Perry launch on Space.com and our YouTube channel.
