On Monday, the singer will join Jeff Bezos’ fiancee Lauren Sanchez, journalist Gayle King and three other women on an all-female Blue Origin spaceflight.
ONTARIO, Calif. (AP) — After a long day of rehearsing for her upcoming world tour, Katy Perry decided to peruse a few books to help her unwind before bed.
“I was listening to ‘Cosmos’ by Carl Sagan and reading a book on string theory,” she recalled. “I’ve always been interested in astrophysics and interested in astronomy and astrology and the stars. We are all made of stardust and we all come from the stars.”
But the pop superstar was motivated by more than just curiosity. On Monday, she will join Jeff Bezos’ fiancee Lauren Sanchez, journalist Gayle King and three other women on an all-female Blue Origin spaceflight. Perry spoke with The Associated Press at her Southern California rehearsal space on Wednesday, days before she was set to leave for training in Texas.
“I am talking to myself every day and going, ‘You’re brave, you’re bold, you are doing this for the next generation to inspire so many different people but especially young girls to go, “I’ll go to space in the future.” No limitations,’” she said.
Perry said she has been “psychologically” preparing for the spaceflight by reading work from the late Sagan and other scientists.
