She sang and returned to the ground. Why did the singer Katy Perry fly into space in the Blue Origin rocket?

This time, Katy Perry was among the stars. The Jeff Bezos Blue Origin rocket took her out and five other women, including the partner of billionaire Lauren Sanchez, on a suborbital journey. They witnessed the first “subordinate” concert.

Katy Perry surpassed such celebrities as Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Justin Biner, making a cover in space from years ago. As it turns out, she enrolled in the Annały as the first pop star who sang outside the ground.

“Women's flight” lasted 11 minutes and took ladies over 100 km above the ground (above the Karmani line), thus crossing the recognized limit of space. In this way, passengers could experience for a few moments of weightlessness. The ship is completely autonomous, so it doesn't need pilots. Of course, there is a crew on board, but it does not have to operate the rocket.

After landing, the pop star Katy Perry kissed the earth and announced that she would write a song about her experience. As she noted, she feels “very related to life and very related to love.” But perhaps this non -spontaneous speech was the result of a long landing.

Lauren Sanchez had more to say, whose door was opened by the fiance of Jeff Bezos. “I looked out the window and saw the moon up close,” she described. “The earth looked so quiet, it was quiet, but really lively,” he said enchanted with tears in his eyes.

Blue Origin has been offering commercial expeditions to space on board its New Shepard for several years. At the beginning you need to make a reservation and send a “cover letter” to 500 words, why the person should fly into space. Then a contract is charged that does not guarantee a place in the ship. Before departure, passengers of the rocket undergo several days of training.

Blue Origin Bill Kircos spokesman said in an interview with CNN that some passengers flew for free. However, he did not reveal who paid for this journey or what the amount it was. It is unofficially known that although there is no price list on the website, the flight reservation itself costs 150,000. dollars. Some to fly into space, they paid millions. For example, in 2021 a place for $ 28 million was auctioned. In turn, in 2022 it was supposed to cost … only $ 1.25 million. Others – most often stars – fired for free.

According to the Research and Markets report in 2023, the space travel industry is valued at $ 848.28 million, and a year later – at $ 1.3 billion. According to estimates, it will reach $ 6.7 billion by 2030growing at a rate of 31.6 percent In the years 2024 – 2030. There are two branches of space tourism: suborbital, taking passengers above the said and orbital line, which allows you to fly further and spend weightlessness from several days to a week.

The main violin is played in this industry: Virgin Galactic, the already mentioned Blue Origin and Spacex. All of them have already taken tourists to the whistles in 2021. A place on the Virgin Galactic ship costs about 450 thousand. dollars. In turn, SpaceX in 2021 took the crew, whose flight was paid by the billionaire Jared Isaacman, for $ 220 million.

Although the eyes of the public have been soapped at the beginning that commercial flights into space can bring benefits, including Thanks to the experiments made at the time, it quickly turned out that, like commercial entrances to Everest, nothing new, and what is more – technologies developed by companies will not be used anywhere outside their companies.

To this, the environment should also be added – Only to prepare the rocket for the start you need to “produce” about 50 tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Even Taylor Swift could not produce so much during her “Eras Tour” concert tour as “The Gamer”.

So this is only pure atima and as the latest flight shows, the possibility of showing up a perfectly maintained hairstyle, despite the touches of the stars.
