Six women, including pop star Katy Perry, are scheduled to be launched into space for about 11 minutes on Monday on a Blue Origin rocket, a lift-off that would mark the first all-female spaceflight since 1963, according to the company.
The window for the latest New Shepard rocket launch is expected to open on Monday morning at about 8:30 a.m. CDT, according to Blue Origin.
long with Perry, the crew includes Blue Origin owner Jeff Bezos' journalist fiance, Lauren Sanchez, who is also a helicopter pilot.
Journalist Gayle King, former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, bioastronautics research scientist and civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen and filmmaker Kerianne Flynn round out the flight crew, according to Blue Origin.
The flight will last only around 11 minutes and reach a height of about 65 miles above Earth. The Kármán line, considered the boundary between Earth's atmosphere and outer space, is 62 miles, so Perry and her fellow crew members will not actually be launched into orbit.
The most-recent all-female spaceflight was Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova’s solo spaceflight in 1963, Blue Origin said.

My daughter was at a fundraiser in LA recently to promote the company she works for, and their new app. Orlando Bloom was there early, and she said she talked with him at length about her product. I hope he ponied up. They could use a few good investors.
Are the women back and smoking cigars? (ID-4)
“Corvette Stingrays didn’t exit then either. So what’s your point?”
The topic was women with visible foreheads. That pertains to the human body, not inventions, in case you can’t perceive that.
IMO foreheads are no the most attrzctive part of a woman’s face.
Yes, it’s all finished. It went up for about 10 minutes, and then parachuted back down to earth. An amusement ride is all.
What a historic triumph for womankind. I understand the training for this was brutal, 2 hours consisting of how to buckle up and unbuckle.
The more important part was how to make sure your outfit was zippered just right. It was necessary to show off cleavage.
Because, as you know, Mars Needs Women!
Comms: "We just hit apogee, and got an incoming message from Houston..."
Crew: "What does it say?"
Comms: "Show us yer tits!"
Hey, I was impressed that their hair and makeup looked really nice after the trip. I typically look like a drowned cat on a car trip😄
Even an 11 minute car trip ? :)
Well, it was a 10 minute trip. They probably used super hold hair spray just in case.
I see women, but I don’t know how many of them are ladies.
Lol.
That post is totally irrelevant to the thread discussion
“That post is totally irrelevant to the thread discussion.”
But it was not irrelevant to your post, which is what you were discussing.
I get your point, and Alan Shepherd is my own personal hero (absolutely inspiring how he came back from Menier’s to go to the moon). I don’t count his suborbital either, but he had a serious pair getting in after all the booster failures.
Space tourists.
Not a crew.
The MSM is trying to create a narrative that isn't just there.
RE: A few minutes.
Jimmy Failla said because it was a short excursion, each of the women was allowed take only two pieces of luggage.
Ha.
If they didn’t want that then make the hangars wider or put padding on them.
Coworker, young woman, backed her dad’s SUV out of the garage, minus the side mirror and housing which were torn off.
She said they shouldn’t design those so far out from the car sides.
