Katy Perry, Lauren Sánchez and Gayle King will ride on Blue Origin's first all-female spaceflight, marking the first such mission in 62 years.

Blue Origin's New Glenn reusable space rocket blasted into orbit last month, successful on its first try. And while at first glance, that may sound like a strange catalyst for layoffs, it's actually not the first time we've seen something like this happen in the space industry.

Katy Perry is going to space. The award-winning "E.T." and "Firework" singer will fly on a firework of her own when she joins the first all-female crew to launch on a Blue Origin New Shepard rocket later this year.

Two space debris-related events that occurred this week point to how routine rocket launches can leave their mark on Earth.

Blue Origin New Shepard’s next flight will be all-female with Katy Perry, Gayle King and Jeff Bezos’ fiancee Lauren Sánchez among the six passengers.

Pop star Katy Perry and journalists Gayle King and Lauren Sanchez, who is also billionaire Jeff Bezos' fiancée, are set to blast off into space on a Blue Origin rocket, marking the first all-female flight crew in more than six decades.

"The NS-31 mission is historic as it marks the first crewed space mission composed entirely of women since Valentina Tereshkova's solo flight in 1963."
