Attention Earthlings: Katy Perry and her stellar squad of fabulous females are ditching Earth like it’s a bad Tinder date and heading to outer freakin’ space this Monday (April 14)! That’s right – Blue Origin is launching an all-female crew into the stratosphere aboard the New Shepard (aka the space Uber for bougie astronauts).
The dream team?
✨ Pop superstar Katy Perry
✨ Journalist queen Gayle King
✨ Pilot boss babe Lauren Sánchez
✨ STEM legend Aisha Bowe
✨ Activist extraordinaire Amanda Nguyen
✨ Mystery woman (but surely iconic) Kerianne Flynn
They’ll be yeeted into space at 9:30 a.m. EST sharp, from Blue Origin’s cosmic catapult located somewhere in the dust of Van Horn, Texas (which sounds made up but is apparently real).
How to Watch These Legends Lift Off 🌍➡️🌌
You don’t even need a telescope or NASA clearance – just Wi-Fi and a dream. Catch the launch LIVE on:
– Blue Origin’s website
– Their YouTube and X (Twitter-but-not-Twitter) pages
– And for extra nerd points, you can stream it on Space.com’s site and YouTube too.
Wait… How Long Are They Gone?
Before you start writing your “I miss you” tweets to Katy, relax. It’s just an 11-minute joyride into the edge of space. That’s less than one commercial break during The Bachelor.
But in those 11 minutes? These ladies will:
– Defy gravity like absolute queens
– Float around like majestic zero-G ballerinas
– Stare at the Earth through windows so large they’d make your nosy neighbor jealous
As Space.com dramatically put it:
“They will experience several minutes of weightlessness while soaking in views of Earth…”
Translation: they’re going to float like glitter in a snow globe and absolutely eat up the views for the ‘Gram. (Imagine the selfies. Imagine the vibes.)
So set your alarm, cancel your Monday morning meetings, and get ready to watch six amazing women boldly go where no girl gang has gone before. Katy Perry in space? ICONIC. Let’s go girls. 🚀💅✨
