Singer Katy Perry, Jeff Bezos's Fiancee Fly To Space On All-Woman Flight
Pop star Katy Perry became the biggest name in an all-woman group to safely blast off into space Monday, roaring into the cosmos on one of billionaire Jeff Bezos's rockets. The "Firework" and "California Gurls" singer was lofted more than 60 miles (100 kilometers) above the Earth's surface in a vessel from Blue Origin, the space company owned by the Amazon founder. Five other women, including Bezos's fiancee Lauren Sanchez, also joined the flight, which took off from western Texas shortly 8:30 am (1330 GMT) before landing again some 10 minutes later.
