On Monday, APril 14 Singer, Katy Perry, who took the 10-minute trip on the Blue Origin New Shepard mission (NS-31) alongside Jeff Bezos’ fiancee, journalist Lauren Sanchez, television host Gayle King, film producer Kerianne Flynn, NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, and civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen – broke down in tears after the “incredible” experience.
“I feel super connected to love,” Perry shared shortly after landing.
“It’s so connected to love. I think this experience shows me that you never know how much love you are inside, how much love you have to give and what love you love until the day you launch,” she added
Perry’s 4-year-old daughter Daisy is watching her mom’s journey and he brings a special souvenir to honor her children.
“We have these incredible Daisy looking at you. She’s so proud that she keeps saying, ‘Mom,'” reporter Charissa Thompson told Perry, who cried while holding a daisy. “Why is it important to bring you with you?”
“Daisies are ordinary flowers, but they grow under any circumstances,” Perry said. They grow through cement, through cracks, through walls. They are tough, strong, they are strong. They are everywhere. Flowers are God’s smile. But this also makes our beautiful earth and the flowers here and the smile of God and the beautiful magic around us, even a simple daisy.
In space, Perry sang “What a Beautiful World” with her all-female staff and explained the meaning of the song.
“It has nothing to do with me,” she said.
“It’s not singing my song, it’s about the collective energy there, it’s about us, it’s about making room for future women and taking up space and belonging, it’s about this wonderful world where we see and appreciate it. It’s all good for the planet.”
Perry kissed the ground immediately after landing. “This experience is second only to mom,” she added. “That’s why it’s hard for me to go because that’s all my love. I have to surrender and believe that the universe will take care of me, protect me, and my family and my daughter. I’m filled with filling from being able to get mom’s gifts, and the gift of going to space is incredible, and I want to imitate courage, value, fearless.”
According to Good Morning in America, Perry and her crew conducted their final training days before the flight at the rocket launch site in Van Horn, Texas.
The women made their debut in the Blue Original Flight lawsuit on social media over the weekend, which included a NASA patch, last name and a blue original logo on the navy jumpsuit.
“Normally, these suits are designed for men. Then, they are tailored to fit a woman,” Sanchez, who helped redesign the suit, told The New York Times. “I think suits are elegant, but they also bring some spices to space.”
