**Blue Origin’s historic all-female space mission has released its first images**, showing Katy Perry, Lauren Sánchez, and four others floating weightlessly and marveling at the moon. The 11-minute flight launched Monday at 9:30 am ET from West Texas, giving the crew three minutes in zero gravity.
Inside the capsule, the women flipped and floated. Perry held up a daisy in honor of her daughter and later said, *“It is the greatest high… trust and surrender to the unknown.”* Civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen beamed, and filmmaker Kieranne Flynn gazed at Earth glowing in space.
Perry sang *“What a Wonderful World”* mid-flight, saying later, *“It’s not about singing… it’s about making space for future women… and appreciating this amazing world.”*
After landing, the crew kissed the Texas soil. *“Daisies… grow through any condition. They are powerful,”* Perry shared, echoing the mission’s theme of resilience.
Despite minor turbulence—like Bezos tripping while opening the capsule—Blue Origin’s 11th crewed flight was a success. *“When you get back, I want to hear how it has changed you,”* Bezos had told the crew. This marked the first all-female space mission since 1963.
