Popstar Katy Perry and crew's Blue Origin spaceflight souvenirs

A flag that flew to the moon, a cookie from Cookie Monster and the set list for an upcoming music tour are now all space artifacts, having briefly left the planet with popstar Katy Perry, TV morning show host Gayle King and four more women on Monday (April 14).

The newly-created space souvenirs and their newly-qualified astronaut owners were part of Blue Origin's 11th human — and first all-female — flight on its New Shepard rocket. In addition to Perry and King, the NS-31 crew included former NASA aerospace engineer and entrepreneur Aisha Bowe; research scientist and now first Vietnamese woman in space Amanda Nguyen; film producer Kerianne Flynn; and journalist Lauren Sánchez, who is engaged to Blue Origin's founder, Jeff Bezos.
