Katy Perry has been focusing on psychological self-preparation ahead of her upcoming spaceflight. The singer shared that she is mentally preparing for the journey, as she wants to be fully ready for this extraordinary experience. According to Daily Mail, Perry expressed that it’s important for her to take this step not only for herself but also to inspire her fans and set an example for the next generation.

The American pop star will be embarking on her first space trip this Monday aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard spacecraft, which will feature an all-female crew. Perry revealed that she needs to mentally prepare for the flight and emphasized that her goal is to inspire others, especially young girls, to believe that they can one day travel to space without limitations.

“I tell myself that I’m brave, courageous, and doing this for the next generation. I’m ready to inspire many people, but especially young girls who will be able to go to space in the future without any restrictions,” Perry confessed.

Alongside Perry, the all-female crew will include CBS Mornings co-host Gayle King, Jeff Bezos’s fiancée Lauren Sánchez, producer Keriann Flynn, Amanda Nguyen, and NASA engineer Aisha Bowe. This mission will mark Blue Origin’s 11th orbital flight.
