Pop star Katy Perry completed a brief in space on Monday, one of the rockets of billionaire Jeff Bezos roams on the banks of the universe with all the female crew.
The space company owned by the founder of Amazon, in a vessel from Blue Origin, was more than 60 miles from the Earth’s surface and “California Gurles” singers earned more than 60 miles (100 km).
Five other women – including Bezos’ fiancé Lauren Sanchez – were in flight, which again flew from western Texas after 8:30 am (1330 GMT) before it was safely landed after about 10 minutes.

Flight brought passengers beyond the Karman line – the internationally recognized space limit.
One of other passengers, TV presenter Gayle King said that Perry sang “What a Wonderful World” in space.
“It’s 10 out of 10. It’s my review. Certainly go for it,” the singer said she had safely returned to Earth.
Their fully automated craft became vertical before the crew’s capsules were separated from the mid-cloth, later fell back to the ground by a parachute and a retro rocket.
Jubilent women emerged then kissing the ground after getting out of the peri capsule.
“I think this experience has shown me that you never know how much love you have, such as how much love you have to give and as long as you launch, how much love you have,” he said.
Monday’s mission was the first All-Woman Space Crew after the historic single flight of Valentina Tereskova in 1963.
It is also the 11th sub-organ crew operation by Blue Origin, which has offered space tourism experiences for many years.
The company does not publicly communicate the price of visits made by its new Shepard rocket.
She was expected to have a brief period when women could unable to get their seats and swim in zero gravity.
‘Inspiration’
Perry was launched on the international stage with the 2008 hit “I Kisid a Girl”, traveling with the founder of a campaign group against Sexual Violence, along with Sanchez, King, filmmaker Carian Flynn, former NASA scientist Aisha Boway and Amanda Guyen.
They follow 52 previous blue original passengers, including the long -standing “Star Trek” leading person William Shaton.
Kings Close Friend – Talk Show Legend Opra Winfrey – was among those who launched in Texas.

“It’s strangely calm when you get up there … You see the planet and think, ‘This is where we came from?” And for me it is such a reminder of how we need to improve and improve, “the king said.
Perry recently told Elle Magazine that she was participating “for my daughter Daisy”, which she shares with actor Orlando Bloom, “to motivate her to never put a limit on her dreams.”
Such high-profile guests aim to maintain public interest in the work of blue origin, as it fights many rival firms in the space tourism sector.
The top challenger of Bezos in passenger flights is the Virgin Galactic, which provides a uniform sub-sequential experience.
But the purpose of Blue Origin is to bring space tourists into the classroom in the future, competing directly with the SpaceX of Elon Musk.
In January, Blue Origin’s much powerful new Glenn rocket successfully completed its first unmanned orbital mission.
