The mission marks the first all-female crewed expedition to space since 1963, when Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova completed a solo mission.
The flight, operated by Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket, lasted approximately 11 minutes and crossed the Kármán line—the internationally recognized boundary of space located 100 kilometers above Earth's surface.
The crew of six featured prominent figures from various fields:
Katy Perry, award-winning singer and philanthropist
Gayle King, veteran broadcaster and journalist

Aisha Bowe, aerospace engineer and former NASA rocket scientist
Amanda Nguyen, civil rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize nominee
Kerianne Flynn, film producer and advocate for women in STEM
The mission not only highlighted the continued advancement of commercial space travel but also celebrated the achievements of women in diverse sectors—from science and media to activism and the arts.
Blue Origin has stated that this historic flight is part of its ongoing commitment to democratizing space travel and showcasing the contributions of underrepresented communities in aerospace.
The successful return of the crew marks a significant milestone in space exploration, echoing both historical achievements and future aspirations for inclusive participation beyond Earth’s atmosphere.
