Pop star Katy Perry and five other women safely returned to Earth after reaching space aboard Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin rocket.
The singer was joined by Bezos's fiancée Lauren Sánchez and CBS presenter Gayle King, who said a highlight of the flight was hearing Perry sing Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World".
After landing back on Earth, Perry said she felt "super connected to life" and "so connected to love".
The flight lasted around 11 minutes and took the six women more than 100km (62 miles) above Earth, crossing the internationally recognised boundary of space and giving them a few moments of weightlessness.

According to Google, you need to be 2,285 miles above the Earth to see the entire planet PLUS the almost total blackness of deep space in one glance.
No doubt the rocket thrill ride and the view from 62 miles is pretty cool, but not necessarily worth risking your life for.

If these bimbos were “crew” then airline passengers are crew.

Can there be any greater affirmation of womynhood than an all female crew catching a ride on Bezos' giant phallus?

How did they ever agree on what color curtains to hang? Or more importantly, what the temperature should be inside the craft???

I’ve gone tandem skydiving a couple times. I’m not a skydiver. I was basically cargo.
