The Firework singer could be seen in the rocket as it pulled away from the gantry at the launch facilities in West Texas, before a countdown from mission control, then flames shot out of the bottom of the craft and it successfully launched into the air.

Mission control could be heard saying it “looks good” as the rocket reached “supersonic” as it soared into the skies, while Perry could be heard cheering onboard. The two craft then separated at 28,000ft as they reached space and Perry exclaimed “oh my god” as she was shown the moon.

Singing sensation Katy was heard screaming: "Omg guys I peed my pants" as the Blue Origin was on it's way back to Earth. When she landed back on soil, Katy hopped out of the vehicle and kissed the ground. In a beautiful nod to her daughter Daisy, 4, Katy also held a daisy up to the sky which she had brought with her on her history-making mission.

Mission control announced “booster touchdown” as the ship descended on to the launch pad, while the astronauts came down cheering in a separate craft with a parachute attached. A puff of smoke blew up as the crew hit the ground, and Katy's daughter Daisy could be seen watching on, as safety crews rushed to the ship.

The astronauts were greeted by Bezos as they exited the ship, with Perry raising her hands in the air before reaching down to kiss the floor. Bezos then congratulated her to which she replied: “Thank you.”

Katy's once-in-a-lifetime trip is the first all-female crew since Russian engineer Valentina Tereshkova’s solo flight in 1963.

Katy and her four fellow passengers experienced four minutes of weightlessness and had time to float around and take in the views of Earth from the large windows before the capsule descends back to Earth using three parachutes.

Before her life-changing trip to space, the Roar hitmaker managed to squeeze in some on Sunday, as revealed by photos shared online by BlueOrigin. Katy also , promising to put "the 'ass' in astronaut" ahead of her exciting trip in a post that also featured Ms Sanchez.

The pair were seen sporting blue jumpsuits, which were specially designed by Ms Sanchez for the mission.

Given that Katy is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with more than 115 billion streams, she is more than excited to add to her many accolades by becoming one of the few women who have been to space. As of today, 100 women have officially flown to space - with Katy, Lauren, Gayle, Amanda, and Aisha making up the last five.

It comes as Ms Sanchez said in a video post that she hopes the mission will inspire people to “dream big”. "If someone would have told me that I would be able to go to space one day, I would have definitely, well, I don’t know, laughed”, she said.

“I can’t believe it’s happening. My dad used to teach people how to fly, and I used to hang around the hanger and I thought dreaming of becoming a pilot was a huge deal, and this is even bigger.

“The incredible women that are going on this flight are extraordinary in all of their fields, but more importantly, they’re incredible storytellers. So what I’m hoping for is, this flight is not just transformative for them, but also for all of the people that they tell their story to. Hopefully it sparks that imagination to a dream big and reach for the stars.”

Blue Origin has flown tourists on short hops to space since 2021. Some passengers have been given free rides, while others have paid a hefty sum to experience weightlessness. Mr Bezos, 61, climbed aboard with his brother for the inaugural flight.
