While Blue Origin has yet to announce the exact date of the launch, it is expected to occur before Perry's Lifetimes Tour, which runs from April 23 to November 11. Reflecting on the groundbreaking opportunity, Perry expressed her excitement, stating, "If you had told me I'd be part of the first all-female crew in space, I would have believed you. Nothing was beyond my imagination as a child."
The NS-31 mission will signify the 11th human spaceflight for Blue Origin's New Shepard and the 31st in the program's overall history, which has thus far successfully launched 52 individuals into space. The typical journey spans around 11 minutes, during which passengers will soar past the Kármán line – recognized as the boundary of space.
Blue Origin attributed the successful assembly of this mission to Sanchez, who aims to inspire future generations through this pioneering flight. She first unveiled her vision of an all-female space crew in a Vogue interview back in 2023, emphasizing their role in paving the way for women in the space sector.
The launch of the New Shepard rocket continues the trend of high-profile individuals taking to the stars, following in the footsteps of Bezos, who took a flight during the company's inaugural manned mission in 2021. Other celebrities like Michael Strahan and William Shatner have also joined the ranks of space travelers. In contrast, SpaceX founder Elon Musk has yet to embark on a personal journey into space.
As this exciting venture approaches, the world eagerly anticipates the inspirational messages and stories these women will bring back from their expedition.
