On April 14, Katy Perry, the famous American pop singer "Fruit Sister", is going to fly into space. She plans to fly into space on Monday in a capsule and "New Shepard" rocket developed by Blue Origin, the private space company owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. She will be accompanied by five other women: Bezos' fiancee, Lauren Sanchez; Aisha Bowe, a former NASA rocket scientist; Amanda Nguyen, a bio-space research scientist; Gayle King, a co-host of "CBS Morning News"; and Kerianne Flynn, a filmmaker. The Blue Origin NS-31 mission is understood to be the first all-female crew mission since Russian cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova flew solo in 1963. The rocket is scheduled to lift off from Blue Origin's launch site in Van Horn, Texas, at 9:30 am EST on Monday (21:30 Beijing time tonight). During the flight, the crew will feel an acceleration of more than three times the speed of sound and reach the "Kamen Line" (100 kilometers above sea level), the boundary between the atmosphere and space. At that moment, the crew will experience a few minutes of weightlessness. After that, they will return to the ground and land in the Texas desert. Flights aboard the New Shepard typically cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, but Blue Origin did not disclose how much celebrity passengers on Monday's flight paid for the space experience. < br > < img src = "https://flash-scdn.jin10.com/5d3fba42-8e30-4129-a5b9-2b81f44f6bde.jpg" referrerpolicy = "no-referrer" >
