Katy Perry's best experience in space travel at 600 million per person



Pop star Katy Perry has completed a space trip.

Local media, including the Associated Press and CNN, reported on the 14th (local time) that Blue Origin's spacecraft New Shepard, which was launched from West Texas, Texas, returned to Earth after about 10 minutes of space flight (mission NS-31).

Blue Origin is a space company founded by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. Bezos planned the flight two months before marrying his fiancee, Lauren Sanchez. In addition to Perry and Sanchez, only six women were on board, including Gail King, who is known as a CBS morning host, aerospace engineer Aisha Bow, filmmaker Kerien Flynn and biological and cosmological research scientist Amanda Nguyen.

Some of the passengers boarded for free, and some paid for it, but it was not disclosed who paid for it. However, as Virgin Galactic, similar to Blue Origin, has a history of selling civilian spaceflight products for about $450,000 (about 640 million won) per person, it is speculated that the flight may have cost similar.

New Shepard reached 107 km (66 miles) over an altitude of 100 km 'Karman Line', referred to as the boundary between Earth and space. The passengers looked down at the Earth from space, experiencing a few minutes of weightlessness. Perry sang a few lines of 'What a Wonderful World' at this time.

After returning to the ground, Perry lifted the daisy flower in his hand high toward the sky as the hatch opened. After that, come down to the ground and get down on your knees?I even kissed the floor.




Perry said "Space travel was the best of the best. It was to immerse yourself in the unknown. I really recommend this experience" he said. When asked if he would make a song about his space travel experience, he answered "Of course, 100%".
