Katy Perry is getting ready to take a rocket flight into space in a history-making trip next Monday (April 14). And yes, she is actually doing it.
In February, Katy Perry announced that she would be one of the passengers on Jeff Bezos’ space tourism company Blue Origin’s spacecraft New Shepard.
The American singer has always wanted to travel and so it seems space is the next best place to go. She will be heading in the rocket with five other women for a history-making trip. So, here is everything to know.
Is Katy Perry actually going to space?
Katy Perry is actually taking part in the trip. She confirmed the news on her Instagram.
She wrote: “If you had told me that I would be part of the first ever all-female crew in space, I would have believed you.
“Nothing was beyond my imagination as a child. Although we didn’t grow up with much, I never stopped looking at the world with hopeful wonder. I work hard to live my life that way still and I am motivated more than ever to be an example for my daughter that women should take up space.”
What does the trip include and how long is it for?
Shockingly, the Roar singer will not be in space for very long. In fact, the trip will only take 11 minutes. Then she will be back to earth. But while she is up there, she will have the opportunity to float around the rocket for several minutes.
