Lauren Sánchez and Katy Perry share footage ahead of spaceflight
They launch today!
On April 14, 2025, billionaire Jeff Bezos’s fiancée, Lauren Sánchez, will embark on a suborbital flight aboard Blue Origin’s spacecraft, becoming part of the first all-female crew since 1963. The spacecraft is fully autonomous – meaning there are no pilots on board. The rocket will reach an altitude of about 100 kilometers above Earth, crossing the Kármán line, which is conventionally considered the boundary between Earth’s atmosphere and outer space.
After reaching weightlessness, the participants will have a few minutes inside the capsule to enjoy views of the planet. The spacecraft will then automatically return to Earth. This 11-minute flight is not only a technical triumph but also a powerful message – women are ready to conquer space and face challenges on equal footing with men.
In addition to Sánchez, the crew includes pop star Katy Perry, TV host Gayle King, NASA tour guide Aisha Bowe, human rights activist Amanda Nguyen, and producer Cariann Flynn.
According to Lauren, she personally selected each member of the crew. This isn’t the first flight featuring famous personalities, but mission NS-31 is special. There are no random passengers – each of these women is someone capable of inspiring others.
Ahead of the flight, Lauren Sánchez shared images of the women posing on the launch pad, exuding confidence before the historic moment. All are dressed in stylish dark blue jumpsuits adorned with the Blue Origin logo. Sánchez’s stylists worked on the outfits. It’s also known that the team chose undergarments from the Skims brand, created by Kim Kardashian in 2019, for the flight.
Today will go down in history!
