Katy Perry has become the first pop star to go to space.

The I Kissed A Girl hitmaker joined the all-female Blue Origin launch and has seen herself make history. Her fellow travellers on the eight-minute jaunt included broadcaster Gayle King, Jeff Bezos’s fiancee Lauren Sanchez and others.

The venture is part of Amazon’s founder’s attempt to make private space travel a profitable industry. After founding the company in 2000, several missions have taken off. One even included ex-Star Trek star William Shatner.
