Katy Perry after returning from space on Monday afternoon

After making history as the first pop star to be blasted into space, Katy Perry is now safely back on Earth.

On Monday afternoon, Katy and five other women – including journalist Gayle King, activist Amanda Nguyễn and rocket scientist Aisha Bowe – formed part of the first ever all-female crew to travel to space.

The team flew on Jeff Bezos’ space tourism rocket Blue Origin, landing safely back on Earth around 10 minutes later.

And after all that flying, the… wait a minute. Did that say... did that say 10 minutes?

Yes, the six-woman crew were only actually in space for just over 10 minutes, and given how much build-up there was preceding the voyage, many were left feeling a little underwhelmed when it was confirmed the trip was already over…

The way Katy Perry was in space for less time than the length of the 12” version Donna Summer and Barbara Streisand’s hit ‘No More Tears (Enough is Enough)’.
