The flight will lift off from Blue Origin’s West Texas site and will cross the Kármán line, the official boundary of space. The mission is short, lasting about 11 minutes, but the impact is expected to be huge. The flight is scheduled to launch today at 7:00 PM IST from Blue Origin’s West Texas site. Katy Perry shared her excitement on Instagram. “I’ve dreamed of going to space for 15 years,” she said. “I’m honoured to fly with five amazing women.” The crew will wear custom Monse flight suits, designed to add style to the journey.
