Katy Perry, Gayle King safely return from Blue Origin's women-only space flight

[Michie]

Singer Katy Perry, CBS anchor Gayle King and other well-known women set off to space on Monday morning in Blue Origin's 11th human spaceflight mission.
Why it matters: This is the first all-woman space crew in history.

• The flight was led by Blue Origin, Jeff Bezos' commercial space company.
• Minutes after taking off, the crew experienced weightlessness. Then they soon safely returned to Earth.

Zoom in: The passengers aboard were:

• Lauren Sánchez, Jeff Bezos' fiancée, the vice chair of the Bezos Earth Fund and a former journalist
• Katy Perry, the biggest-selling woman artist in Capitol Records' history
• Amanda Nguyễn, a bioastronautics research scientist and civil rights activist
• Aisha Bowe: a former NASA rocket scientist
• Gayle King: co-host of CBS Mornings
• Kerianne Flynn, a film producer

Context: Sánchez has long planned to helm an all-women Blue Origin mission.
