'Earth looked so quiet': All-female crew, including Katy Perry, return after Blue Origin space flight

An all-female crew, including pop star Katy Perry, returned to Earth today after making a space flight on Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin rocket.

The crew shared a special moment as they entered space, said Rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, reports BBC. 

After landing, film producer Kerianne Flynn said she had almost no words to describe what happened.

Civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen said she was "so grateful". 

Journalist Lauren Sánchez said, "Earth looked so quiet."

The Blue Origin is an autonomous rocket which doesn't need a pilot.

Speaking to BBC, after the crew's 11-minute spaceflight, Katy Perry said she might record song about her experience.

"The highest high. It is a surrender to the unknown," Perry said after landing back on Earth.

"I couldn't recommend this experience more."

Asked if she will record a song about her experience she said "100%" and that she felt "really connected to that strong, divine feminine right now".

The pop star chose to sing a rendition of Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" while in the capsule. 

When asked about the importance of her song choice, she said it was "about a collective energy, making space for future women, it's about wonderful world we see out there".

Her daughter, Daisy, was there to see her take part in the mission and was heard saying "mummy, mummy" as she went up.

The singer said the experience came "second to being a mum", which is also why it was a hard decision to take the mission on.

Rocket scientist Aisha Bowe said, "I will never be the same," adding that earth is "beautiful" from up above. 

"There are no boundaries, there's no border, there's just earth." 

Bowe said that she could "feel the energy in the capsule" and said the all-female crew had a moment where they all just looked at each when they reached space. 

She is told her 92-year-old grandfather, who was watching from the ground, was worried about her but mentioned that Oprah had given him a reassuring squeeze.

Gayle King said she "still can't accept" that she's an astronaut.

"It's oddly quiet when you get up there. It's really quiet and peaceful and you look down at the planet and think, 'That's where we came from.'

"For me, it's such a reminder about how we need to do better, be better," she added.

She also said her highlight of the flight was hearing Katie Perry sing a rendition of Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World".

King added that people were asking Perry to sing her own hits like "Firework" and "Roar" before the flight, but that she had told then "it's not about me, I wanted to talk about the world". 

"I have almost no words," Kerianne Flynn said.

"It was the most incredible experience of my life to be up there to see such vast darkness in space", she added.

Flynn shared a story of her son telling his friends that she was going up to space and they told him, "Mums don't go to space".

"This mum went to space," she said.

Amanda Nguyen, a civil rights activist, said she was "so grateful to everyone who made it a reality". 

"I'm so proud of this crew," Lauren Sánchez said. 

"I can't put it into words…I looked out of the window and we got to see the moon." 

"Earth looked so quiet," she said, adding that it was not what she expected. 

"It was quiet, but really alive." 

Sánchez said there was a feeling of joy and camaraderie among the women in space.
