Holiday Fees To Space Like Katy Perry, Interested? Prepare This Much

YOGYAKARTA - Katy Perry's name has returned to the spotlight of many parties. However, not because of his new single or appearance on the red carpet, but because he is rumored to be traveling to fly into space. What do you think the cost of a vacation to space like Katy Perry?

This iconic pop singer is indeed informed to be one of the passengers on the latest Blue Origin mission whose entire crew is a woman. Katy Perry's action can be said to be a tangible manifestation of his works which are often cosmic-themed and extra-terrestrial.

Katy Perry glided into space with a Blue Origin suborbital rocket called New Shepard on Sunday, April 14, 2025. This flight only lasted about 11 minutes, but of course the experience of watching Earth from space was clearly an unusual experience.

Quoted from the Reuters page and a report from MoonDAO, one New Shepard ticket is estimated to have a price of between USD 200,000 (around IDR 3.2 billion) to more than USD 1.25 million (around IDR 20 billion). In fact, on its inaugural flight in 2021, the first seat was auctioned at a price of USD 28 million or around IDR 450 billion!

To participate in the ordering process, prospective passengers are also required to deposit USD 150,000 which can be returned if departure is canceled. To get more information, you can see it directly on the official Blue Origin website.

This procedure shows that even though it is open to the general public, spaceflight remains exclusive and cannot be ordered impulsively as well as concert tickets.

Katy Perry did not go alone. She became part of the first female crew to fly with New Shepard. On the flight, she joined Lauren Sryptez (conjured Jeff Bezos), former NASA engineer Aisha Bowe, human rights activist Amanda Nguyen, well-known journalist Gayle King, and film producer Kerianne Flynn.

This flight is a historic moment on a mission to fly into the first female manned space since Valentina Tereshkova in 1963.

Katy Perry himself has not confirmed whether he paid for his ticket or was specially invited by Blue Origin. However, seeing many other celebrities who have also flown (such as William Shatner and Michael Strahan), it is likely that Katy will get an invitation as an honorary guest.

He did fly into space for just 11 minutes, but this experience is certainly not just an ordinary walk. The passengers will feel the moment without gravity for a few minutes and witness the Earth's arch from outside the atmosphere. This is certainly an experience that is still an expensive dream for many people for now.

However, with the development of the space tourism industry that has occurred from time to time, it is possible that ticket prices to space will be more affordable in the future.

In addition, New Shepard's technology is also designed to be reusable, so it has the potential to make space travel costs in the future down. Blue Origin also explained that this mission is only the beginning of their long-term vision to make space travel more accessible to the public.
