And they’re off like a firework.

Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket took off Monday morning with its star-studded, glammed-up, all-female crew, including singer Katy Perry, Jeff Bezos’s fiancée Lauren Sanchez, and CBS Mornings co-host Gayle King.

The New Shepard 31 soared through the Texas sky with the three celebrities and crew mates Amanda Nguyen, Aisha Bowe, and Kerianne Flynn, who enjoyed around just a few minutes in space before returning to earth as part of the historic space tourism flight.

“Oh my goddess!” Perry could be heard yelling when taking a peek at the moon from their skyhigh vantage point. 

The women flew about 62 miles over the Earth, just above the Karman Line designating outer space — where they caught sight of the void of space, the moon, and the blue planet.

After their brief stint in space, the women came back for a soft parachute landing back in the Texas desert, with their screams of thrills heard reverberating through the microphones inside the capsule.

Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket took off Monday morning with it’s star-studded, glammed-up, all-female crew, including singer Katy Perry, Jeff Bezos’s fiancée Lauren Sanchez, and CBS Mornings co-host Gayle King.

The New Shepard 31 soared through the Texas sky with the three celebrities and crew mates Amanda Nguyen, Aisha Bowe, and Kerianne Flynn, who will enjoy around 11 minutes in outer space before returning to earth as part of the historic space tourism flight.

The women will fly about 62 miles over the Earth, just above the Karman Line designating outer space — where they will be able to peer into the void and experience weightlessness.

After their brief stint in space, the women are scheduled for a soft parachute landing back in the Texas desert.

Among the big name attendees at the launch site were Oprah Winfrey, Kris Jenner and Khole Kardashian, who were there to support the crew.

“We’re here to support our girlfriend and our friends, and I never thought that we’d be talking to you from a space launch for sure,” Jenner said.

Jeff Bezos was also there to wish the women luck and give a kiss to Sanchez, telling her the thrilling experience will “change” her forever.

The voyage marks the first all-female space trip since Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova‘s solo flight in 1963.

Although their trip to space was short, the women of the NS31 helped carry out various experiments for the universities and science groups that each have partnered up with.

The passengers were also carrying postcards from fans to the final frontier, which will be returned to them once they touch back home.

All six women pledged to ride into space with full make-up and glam looks. On Sunday, they debuted form-fitting uniforms for the journey.

“Space is going to finally be glam,” Perry previously told Elle. “If I could take glam up with me, I would do that. We are going to put the ‘ass’ in astronaut.”

Sanchez told the magazine she would glue on her fake lashes to make sure they didn’t fly off during lift-off.
