Katy Perry sang a rendition of Louis Armstrong's 'What A Wonderful World' as the Blue Origin rocket descended back to Earth after flying an all-female crew into space on Monday.

The 40-year-old pop star was joined on Jeff Bezos' rocket by the Amazon founder's fiancée Lauren Sanchez, journalist Gayle King, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen, former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe and film producer Kerianne Flynn.

Katy and the other passengers soared 62 miles above Earth as part of the mission and landed safely back on solid ground after the 11-minute trip.

The mission was the first all-female spaceflight in over 60 years and the rocket soared past a pink moon, adding to the symbolism of the momentous day.

The 'Firework' singer kissed the ground as the rocket booster landed safely in West Texas and she and the other women exited.

Bezos' fiancée Lauren was first to emerge and speaking of her experience, she said: "I’m so proud of this crew.

“Earth looked so quiet. It was just quiet. I don’t think you can describe it. It was quiet but also really alive. You look at it and you’re like, we’re all in this together. That’s all I could think about.“I don’t cry that often so I didn’t expect to be this emotional.”
