Katy Perry em viagem ao espaço só de mulheres

By Jordi Bou

March 4, 2025 - Seis mulheres vão viajar ao espaço num foguetão Blue Origin, sendo
o primeiro voo com tripulação só feminina em mais de seis décadas.

Pop singer Katy Perry is set to join former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, bioastronautics expert Amanda Nguyen, film producer Kerianne Flynn, and U.S. journalists Gayle King and Lauren Sánchez, as part of the first all-female astronaut crew to fly into space since 1963.

The private rocket firm Blue Origin, headed by Jeff Bezos, says the six-person crew for its NS-31 mission will launch in spring.

The New Shepard rocket, a 18-metre tall suborbital spacecraft, will carry the crew to the Kármán line, the internationally recognised boundary of space.

Passengers will experience a few minutes of microgravity before returning to Earth via parachute-assisted landing in the West Texas desert.

The flight will be the first all-female astronaut crew since Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova's solo flight in 1963, which saw her become the first woman in space.
