Pop star Katy Perry, along with five other women, is set to fly into space on a Blue Origin rocket owned by Jeff Bezos. The all-female crew will experience weightlessness and look out the windows during the brief trip, which will be lower than the typical altitude for space missions. While the mission aims to inspire girls and young women, some critics question its value as a giant flying billboard for a private company in the current political climate. Despite the controversy, the crew members are excited for the unique experience of seeing the curvature of the Earth from above.
