@nypost: The first pictures of Katy Perry, Lauren Sanchez and Gayle King in space have been released after they completed their Blue Origin flight on Monday. The all-female crew spent just four minutes in zero-gravity space, and took much of the time to mug for the camera inside their space capsule. In one picture, pop star Perry, 40, holds up a daisy for her daughter as she smiles at the camera. In another picture, Sanchez, 55, the fiancée of Amazon boss and Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos, grins broadly as she clings onto a railing inside the spacecraft. Ahead of the trip, the star-studded crew defended their brief voyage into space after critics accused them of taking part in a vanity project. “Many people think that if you’re devoting resources you’re taking things away from Earth,” CBS host Gayle King, 70, told “CBS Mornings.” “It isn’t an either or. It’s a both and,” she went on. “And what happens in space also benefits what’s happening on Earth.” The six women returned safely to Earth after their 11-minute journey following the launch Monday morning from Blue Origin’s West Texas base. 📸: Blue Origin
