Blue Origin Launches First All-Female Crew Into Space

The star-studded voyage marked the New Shepard's 31st overall launch, including the 11th with humans on board.

Blue Origin launched an all-female crew into space Monday.

Pop star Katy Perry and journalist Gayle King were among the six women who traveled aboard the company’s New Shepard rocket as part of the suborbital space tourism mission.

The crew were sporting custom space-suits designed by Lauren Sanchez who was also on board the space flight.

The star-studded voyage marked the New Shepard’s 31st overall launch, including the 11th with humans on board.

It took the crew more than 60 miles high for a few minutes of weightlessness and spectacular views of earth.
