What a weird and random thing .

An all-female crew composed ofKaty Perry,Gayle King, Lauren Sánchez, Kerianne Flynn, Aisha Bowe, and Amanda Nguyentraveled to space for a few minutes today.

That 10-minute trip is the talk of the town today because a bunch of weird, funny, and awkward things happened. Let’s recap:

1.First off, Katy Perry tweeted this two hours before taking off like she was in the movieArmageddonor something.

As this person said, “You’re going in a plane for 11 minutes.”

2.Just before the crew went into space, they rang a bell, and Gayle King’s expression showed exactly how excited she was.

4.Katy Perry did the same thing:

5.Oprah was there to support Gayle, and a video of her crying is going viral.

8.Kris Jennerand Khloé Kardashian were the event’s most esteemed guests.

As this person said, “I did not have Kris Jenner andKhloe Kardashianbecoming space experts on my 2025 bingo card.”

9.Kris was also shown filming the landing on her phone, giving off “You’re doing amazing, sweetie” vibes.

10.Gayle King explained why Katy Perry sang “What a Wonderful World” in space. Katy told her she chose not to perform one of her own hits because, as she said, “It’s not about me, I’m here to talk about the world.”
