Blue Origin: Katy Perry’s daughter, Daisy Dove, offers a heartfelt reaction to the spaceflight.
Absolutely! Katy Perry's space journey was a historic moment, and her daughter Daisy Dove Bloom played a heartwarming role in it. Daisy, dressed in a silver astronaut costume, watched her mom launch into space with pride. Katy carried a daisy flower on the mission as a tribute to her daughter, symbolizing resilience and strength.
The all-female crew included Gayle King, Lauren Sánchez, Amanda Nguyen, Aisha Bowe, and Kerianne Flynn, making it the first all-female spaceflight since 1963. Katy described the experience as second only to being a mom, showcasing her courage and love for her family.
It’s inspiring to see how Katy combined her personal life with such a groundbreaking achievement

“Daisies are common flowers, but they grow through any condition,” Katy told Blue Origin shortly after her descent from space. “They grow through cement, they grow through cracks, they grow through walls. They are resilient, they are powerful, they are strong. They are everywhere.”
“Flowers are, to me, God’s smile,” she continued. “But it’s also a reminder of our beautiful Earth, and the flowers here, and God’s smile, and the beautiful magic that is everywhere, all around us, and even in a simple daisy.”
“That’s why it was hard for me to go,” the 40-year-old explained, “because that’s all my love right there.”
“I have to surrender and trust that the universe is going to take care of me and protect me,” she added, “and also my family, my daughter. Because I’m full up from being able to get that gift of being a mom and go to space is incredible and I wanted to model courage and worthiness and fearlessness.”
And though the journey and preparation were quite nerve-wracking, Katy was reassured by her own mother Mary Perry every step of the way. Indeed, when they reunited after the mission, Katy said her mother was completely calm.
“She just knew,” Katy said, noting that the name of their space capsule, “Tortoise,” is also a nickname that her mother called her growing up. “My mom has this thing where she can see, even down to the name of the capsule.”
Critics have raised concerns about the authenticity of photos shared by Blue Origin featuring the all-female crew, including Katy Perry, Lauren Sánchez, and Gayle King. Some online users have pointed out that the images appear heavily edited, with noticeable airbrushing and filters. This has led to skepticism about the legitimacy of the photos, with some sarcastically commenting on the use of makeup and digital enhancements.
Despite the criticism, the mission itself remains a significant milestone in space exploration.
Jeff Bezos had quite the moment during the livestream of Blue Origin's historic NS-31 mission. As he eagerly rushed to greet his fiancée Lauren Sánchez and the all-female crew after their safe return to Earth, he accidentally stepped into a ditch and took a tumble. The incident, caught on camera, showed Bezos face-planting into the Texas desert before quickly recovering and continuing to greet Sánchez with a warm embrace
Despite the mishap, the mission itself was a remarkable achievement, marking the 11th human flight for Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket. Sánchez, along with Katy Perry, Gayle King, and other crew members, celebrated their successful journey with heartfelt moments, including kissing the ground upon landing
It seems even billionaires aren't immune to the excitement of space exploration.
