All-female Blue origin crew celebrates 'making space' after returning from space
Pop star Katy Perry and five other women launched into space on a Blue Origin rocket and successfully returned to Earth on Monday, April 14, marking the first all-female spaceflight in more than 60 years.
King said that when the crew returned to their seats after weightlessness, Perry sang the Louis Amstrong song "What a Wonderful World."
Blue Origin does not disclose the average cost of a seat on one of its rockets. On its website, the company says potential passengers have to pay $150,000 in the form of a refundable deposit to start the "order process."

00:00Woo! Lauren Sanchez! Amanda Nguyen! Katy Perry! Aisha Bowe! And Carrie Ann Flynn! Ladies and gentlemen!
00:17You guys can stay seated. We're just going to keep clapping for you. I don't know if that would ever get old if I were to.
00:22How are you hoping that this moment affects change for other people moving forward?
00:30I hope they can see the unity that we modeled and replicate that and understand that we weren't just taking up space, we were making space for the future.
00:45And for me, like Gail said, this wasn't a ride. It wasn't a destination. It was a journey and it was a supernatural one.
00:55And my journey has always been about love and belonging and I think that we have all felt that sometimes we weren't worthy or we didn't belong in certain ways, no matter all the accolades, no matter all the studying, no matter anything.
01:15And I think today we all said it like we belong here.
01:19I thought about as I heard you speaking and I want to get into it with all of you guys.
01:25Our instructor, Sarah, my new best friend said, you are my most success story because I've never trained anyone that was afraid to fly or was a nervous flyer.
01:36So I consider you a big success and I'm so proud of us. I really am proud of me because I never in a gazillion years thought I could do this.
01:44Well, I don't know if any other pop stars have been to space, but I thought I was I wasn't sure if I was going to sing or if I wasn't because I just wanted to honor my fellow astronauts and just, you know, hold the space in space.
02:09But I did. I did come around to just singing a little bit of What a Wonderful World.
02:14And I didn't pick one of my songs because, again, it's not about me.
02:18It's about the collective and it's about the view that we get to see that we're humbled by and breath out this like collective sigh of relief that you guys are back.
02:30Yeah, definitely still processing. Right. We all talked about that.
02:36Profound is like the one word I would use.
02:41I was up there and you see Earth and then, you know, it's completely black.
02:49But what we got was the moon. We got to see the moon and it was in complete and utter darkness.
02:56And then you look back at Earth and it's like this beautiful jewel.
03:03It was quiet. It felt like it was breathing. It was so alive.
03:11And that's kind of what I felt, just this aliveness of Earth.
03:15I have to say what is-
03:29We'll see you next time.
