Katy Perry and five other celebrities launched to space today on a short flight aboard Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket and capsule.
On June 4, 2024, Blue Origin successfully completed its NS-25 mission, marking the company's return to space after a hiatus since August 2022. The mission, launched from West Texas, carried six passengers, including a historic all-female crew consisting of Ed Dwight, the first Black astronaut candidate, and five women: Carol Schaller, Gopi Thotakura, Sylvia Acevedo, Lauren Sanchez, and Ken Hess.

The successful mission is a significant step for Blue Origin as it aims to increase the frequency of its New Shepard rocket launches.
