Before she kicks off her upcoming world tour, Katy Perry is reaching for the stars. The pop icon will join Lauren Sanchez, Gayle King and three other women on an all-female spaceflight Monday. Perry sat down with AP entertainment journalist Krysta Fauria to talk about yearning to fly, studying Carl Sagan and string theory and inspiring young women with the crew’s 10-minute spaceflight from West Texas. #katyperry #blueorigin
