On April 14th 2025, Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin will conduct a very special flight in just 11 minutes!
The six members are, Aisha Bowe, Kerianne Flynn, Gayle King, Amanda Nguyen, Katy Perry, and their pilot and mission leader Lauren Sánchez. They will be departing on Blue Origin’s New Shepard Rocket and once they have climbed 62 miles and crossed the Kármán Line (commonly known as the boundary to space) they will have 4 minutes to unbuckle and enjoy the weightlessness of space look at the beauty of earth and then land! That’s It! They will descend to earth on a landing pad a few miles away from launch and they will be earthlings again. This is Part of Blue Origin’s push to make space tourism a “thing.” This New Shepard Rocket has already taken 52 people to space and Blue Origin plans to take more.
