Stellar short trip
Jeff Bezos’ fiancée flies into space with Katy Perry
Women's trip into space: The partner of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos (61), Lauren Sánchez (55), wants to go on a short trip into space with her husband's rocket and a group of women including pop superstar Katy Perry (40).
Bezos' space travel company Blue Origin announced that Sánchez and Perry would be launching in spring together with presenter Gayle King, scientists Aisha Bowe and Amanda Nguyen and entrepreneur Kerianne Flynn.
Blue Origin has been offering short space trips for space tourists from the US state of Texas for several years. Ten of these have already been successfully completed, with a total of 52 people taking part. Bezos himself was on board the first flight in 2021.
"Captain Kirk" William Shatner was also in space with Blue Origin
The "New Shepard" rocket system flies largely automatically. The trip to an altitude of around 100 kilometers above the earth takes about ten minutes, at times with weightlessness
Blue Origin has not officially announced how much the tickets for the space flights cost. Estimates range from several hundred thousand dollars. However, the company has repeatedly taken celebrities along as guests of honor for PR purposes - for example the Canadian actor William Shatner, who became world-famous for his role as "Captain Kirk" in "Star Trek". Comedian Pete Davidson canceled a flight planned for 2022.
