For the first time, an all-women crew of 6 members traveled to space together on Monday. These include famous Hollywood singer Katy Perry, American billionaire Jeff Bezos’ fiancée Lauren Sanchez.
They made this journey in a rocket of American industrialist Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin company. The rocket took off from Texas’s Van Horn launch pad at 7 pm. The mission returned after about 11 minutes.
During this time, the rocket traveled a total of 212 km, including to and fro. This is the first all-women crew to go on a space trip after 1963. Earlier in 1963, Russian engineer Valentina Tereshkova traveled to space alone.
