Pop star Katy Perry, Lauren Sánchez and Gail King are ready to take off on a historical tourism flight of Space Glammed Space scheduled for Monday morning.
The new SHEPARD 31 of Blue Origin is scheduled for launch from 9:30 am from the company’s West Texas base, with the three celebrities they will join the teammates Amanda Nguyen, Aisha Bowe and Kerianne Flynn.
The founder of Blue Origin is the former Amazon Chief Jeff Bezos, and is sending his promising Sánchez to space as part of the mission.
The trip, which is expected to fly just above the space limit and last around 11 minutes, will mark the first female space trip from the solo flight of Valentina Tereshkova in 1963.
The crew promised to wear the best that the short space flight can eliminate, with some preparation to make super makeup, eyelashes and hairstyles survive the intense strength to leave the earth, the inappropriate weight and the trip back home.
“The space will finally be glamorous,” Perry told Elle. “If I could take glamorous with me, I would do that. We are going to put the ‘ass’ in the astronaut.”
The projected orbit of the mission will see women shoot at about 62 miles on the planet, just above the Karman line, which is internationally recognized as the point where the earth ends and the outer space begins.
Approximately two minutes after takeoff, Shepard’s new reinforcement will separate from the crew capsule and return in a controlled touchdown on the blue platform of origin about 2 miles north of the launch site.
Women will return 10 to 11 minutes later in a parachute landing in the Texas desert.
The six crew companions arrived at the base on Saturday for the preparation of the mission, which also included a photo of women in the blue monkeys adjusted on the Rocket Bridge site.
As with previous space tourism missions, Blue Origins designed a special badge to add women’s space costumes with all their names and a wink to each of their works and ambitions.
Next to the name of Perry is the image of an artificial fireworks, a reference to his successful song of 2011, with a fly near Sánchez’s name as a wink to his children’s book, “the fly that flew to space.”
King has a microphone to symbolize his work in CBS News, Nguyen has an icon of the justice scale for his defense of civil rights, Flynn has a film reel for his career as a film producer and is an objective star to symbolize his passion for the voice.
In addition to taking their eyes, women have also associated with several universities and scientific groups to carry out some experiments that last their trip to space.
The women’s trip will mark the 11th human flight of the new Shepard.
