Pop star Katy Perry and journalists Lauren Sanchez and Gayle King were among six women to blast into space on Monday (April 14) aboard billionaire Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin spacecraft.
The crew, which also featured film producer Kerianne Flynn and scientists Amanda Nguyễn and Aisha Bowe, launched out of Texas for brief flight across the 100-km-high (62-mile-high) Karman Line, marking the widely recognised boundary of space.
The crew were heard exclaiming at the moon during their four-minute stint in near-zero gravity before screaming their way back to Earth, completing an approximately 11-minute voyage.
The launch marks the first all-female spaceflight in more than 60 years.
