Carrie Underwood Has Hilarious Response to Whether She'd Go to Space
- In February 2023, Katy Perry and five other prominent women flew on Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin New Shepard spaceflight, sparking public debate about astronaut status.
- The flight's controversy stems from differing definitions of space boundaries and FAA criteria that require crew duties for astronaut recognition, which some passengers did not meet.
- The vehicle reached approximately 68 miles altitude, above the 50-mile FAA limit but below the 100 km Kármán line commonly cited as the edge of space.
- Sean Duffy, US transport secretary, stated the participants "could not be astronauts" since they did not perform crew activities critical to flight safety, intensifying the discussion.
- The event highlights unresolved questions about who qualifies as an astronaut and contributes to ongoing debates over spaceflight definitions amid growing civilian missions.
