Six women - including the pop star Katy Perry and the US morning TV host Gayle King - yesterday safely completed a trip to the edge of outer space and back from a private Texas ranch on a rocket owned by Jeff Bezos, the Amazon co-founder and commercial space flight entrepreneur.

The women, who also included Bezoz's fiancee, Lauren Sanchez, made the trip to the Karman line - the internationally recognised boundary of space - to float about, weightlessly, in the rocket's capsule for three minutes before returning to Earth...

King's longtime friend, the TV chatshow host Oprah Winfrey, was on hand in Texas for the launch. Winfrey said that, for King, "this is bigger than just going to space" and "more than just overcoming fear".

"Life is about continuing to grow into the fullest expression of yourself," she said...

As the rocket reached its highest point, about 62 miles above the earth, a passenger could be heard to exclaim: "Oh my Goddess."...

In a post-flight interview, Sanchez said; "The earth was so quiet but also really alive. We are all in this together, and some connected. It makes me just want to hug everybody."...

On her return to earth, Perry said that the flight had been "the highest high". and she felt "super connected to love." She remarked: "It's about surrender to the unknown, it's trust, and this whole journey is about more than going into space. It's up there with meditation. This is up there."

She added: "What you're doing is really finding the love for yourself. I'm really feeling that divine feminine right now."...

The pop star also said that she planned to channel "that feminine divine that I was born with" to prepare for the new experience.

Going into space or being associated with those going into space certainly seems to affect one's ability to speak with clarity, lucidity or much sense.

"Life is about continuing to grow into the fullest expression of yourself," What is this all about? Have I missed what the meaning of life is all along? Why didn't I know about this before? What's it all about, Alfie?

"Oh my Goddess" Is this now the female form of the expression "Oh my God"? Or is she declaring her undying devotion  and love for a fellow passenger?

"The earth was so quiet but also really alive. Who knows?

We are all in this together, and some connected.  I've no idea.

On her return to earth, Perry said that the flight had been "the highest high" I understand that. Good on you Katy. Keep it up.

and she felt "super connected to love." No Katy don't lose it now, you were doing very well.

"It's about surrender to the unknown, it's trust, and this whole journey is about more than going into space. It's up there with meditation. This is up there." You're losing it again Katy.

She added: "What you're doing is really finding the love for yourself. I'm really feeling that divine feminine right now." What I'm thinking now is, if everyone else understands what you're saying, I need to go back to school and get a new English teacher.
