Jeff Bezos’ company Blue Origin recently had a rocket launch manned by the first all-female space flight crew.

Katy Perry, Gayle King, and Lauren Sánchez were joined by Amanda Nguyen and Aisha Bowe on their brief journey above the Kármán line, which is recognized as the border to space. about 62 miles above the surface of the earth. Upon her return, Perry strangely kissed the ground (huh?) and gave an interview about “being connected to love.”
The flight lasted less than 11 minutes, but hundreds of thousands tuned into livestreams.
