Like, to each those who thought Katy would sing "E.T." connected the satellite and unrecorded up determination for a month, you'll beryllium disappointed. The travel was 11 minutes long, and the rocket flew by itself. Although they were the archetypal women to deterioration eyelash glue and different glam successful space, and Katy is the archetypal popular prima to spell to space, it felt kinda pointless (and a spot of a discarded of resources) to galore of america regular folk.

Although, I'm reasoning Katy's quality mightiness person thing to bash with marketing...because it turns retired you tin wage $150K USD to Blue Origin to publication a seat. TO SPACE.

Given however abbreviated the ngo was, not overmuch really happened — different than Katy Perry singing "What A Wonderful World." The different women allegedly asked her to sing 1 of her ain songs, but she replied, "It's not astir me. It's astir the world." Katy besides kissed the ground erstwhile she got back, which I had to mention, due to the fact that it's kinda comic fixed however abbreviated the travel was.
