Katy Perry, Lauren Sanchez, and Gayle King recently made headlines after completing a brief journey into space aboard Blue Origin's spacecraft. The all-female crew experienced just four minutes of zero gravity, during which they took lighthearted photos, including Perry holding a daisy. Despite criticism labeling their flight as a mere vanity project, crew members defended their experience, emphasizing the beneficial impact of space exploration on Earth. Their flight lasted 11 minutes and concluded safely, representing a significant moment in the ongoing discussion about space and its intersection with terrestrial progress.
Ahead of the trip, the star-studded crew defended their brief voyage into space after critics accused them of taking part in a vanity project. "Many people think that if you're devoting resources you're taking things away from Earth," CBS host Gayle King, 70, told "CBS Mornings." "It isn't an either or. It's a both and," she went on. "And what happens in space also benefits what's happening on Earth."
