Katy Perry is Going into Space: Would You Join Her?

You may have heard Katy Perry will be on the next mission into space on Blue Origin Shepards' 11th Human Flight. 

I remember as a kid something like this would seem so far-fetched and now people that are not even trained astronauts are experiencing space travel. It's really pretty incredible.

Blue Origin today announced the six people flying on its NS-31 mission.

Of course, this type of experience is reserved for the very rich or the very famous. But, at some point, it may be available to us all.  IF humanity lives that long!

Here's my question to you though. If you had the opportunity to go, would you? I consider myself a pretty big risk-taker, but I'm not confident I'd choose to go.

I love everything space! I love to see pictures and read about it and study the vast universe and imagine all that it might entail. But, would I want to be in a rocket headed to space? Not so sure I would.

The flight scheduled for Spring will carry former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, Bioastronautics research scientist Amanda Nguyen, Award-winning journalist, co-host of CBS Mornings Gayle King, Singer Katy Perry, Movie Producer Kerianne Flynn, and Emmy Award-winning journalist Lauren Sanchez.

This will be the first all-women flight since 1963

The flight will launch this spring.
