The spacecraft was launched at 7:30 p.m. Monday from Blue Origin's facility in Texas. The crew spent time in a suborbital orbit, about 100 kilometers above Earth. Katy Perry responded by saying that her journey would be an inspiration to others and her daughter. “This is for the little girl in me who always looked up at the stars and wondered, 'What if?" Perry said. Lauren Sanchez said that her space trip was not what she expected.
