Watch first video inside Blue Origin space trip as Katy Perry and crew hang upside down & marvel at the moon

Occasional Digest - a story for you

THIS is the bombshell first video captured inside the Blue Origin rocket ship, with the all-women crew weightlessly floating in space.

The six women – including popstar Katy Perry and Jeff Bezos’ fiancee Lauren Sanchez – were captured on the spacecraft’s camera doing somersaults as they looked down onto Earth.

As well as Sanchez and Perry, on board the capsule was morning show icon Gayle King, ex-NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen and film producer Kerianne Flynn.

The group flew in Bezos’ own Blue Origin New Shepard NS-31 ship and soared past the Kármán line – the internationally recognised boundary of space.

The women on board even passed a pink moon as part of the first all-female spaceflight in over 60 years.

New footage shows Perry holding up the daisy she brought with her onboard in honour of her four-year-old daughter.

And Bowe was captured grinning as she showed a patch representing the Bahamas, with the glowing darkness of space as her background.

Meanwhile Flynn looked to be marvelling at the unbelievable view of Earth as Nguyne smiled as she floated around in the capsule.

The women spent three minutes in pure weightlessness before safely parachuting back down and landing in Texas.

The total mission time was just 10 minutes and 21 seconds.

It also marked the 11th human mission for the New Shepard program, which has now flown 52 people — including repeat flyers — to space.

Screams were heard onboard the spacecraft as they took off from Earth in the New Shepard rocket.

The crew also screamed with excitement again as they landed back on the ground.

Musical icon Perry choked back tears after she returned from her history-making space mission.

The Roar hit-maker looked overwhelmed as she stepped out of the capsule and paused to kiss the ground.

Perry clutched a single daisy in her hand as she revealed the gesture was a touching nod to her daughter, Daisy, who she shares with actor Orlando Bloom.

She also explained she carried it with her into space because daisies are “strong,” “powerful” and “resilient” flowers.

The singer said the space mission was “the highest high” — and promised to create a song inspired by the trip.

It was later revealed that Perry sang the “What a Wonderful World” in space.

The iconic song, first recorded by American trumpet player and singer Louis Armstrong, was belted out by the Teenage Dream star during the journey.

Perry’s actor husband Bloom and US TV icon Oprah Winfrey were among those who watched the trip.

Kris Jenner and Khloe Kardashian were also in attendance in Texas.

Jeff Bezos painfully faceplanted the ground next to the Blue Origin space capsule carrying his fiancee Sanchez when the crew landed.

The billionaire, who first fell head over heels for his soon-to-be-wife Sanchez in 2018, was ready to congratulate his partner on the mission soon after she touched down.

But a live stream of the space trip caught the moment Bezos fell face first to the ground next to the capsule.

Bezos quickly dusted himself off and welcomed the crew and his fiancee back to Earth.
