Katy Perry will join an all-female crew for a space tourism mission with Blue Origin, Jeff Bezos’ company.

The 40-year-old singer will join Gayle King, host of CBS Mornings, journalist and entrepreneur Lauren Sánchez, former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen, and film producer Kerianne Flynn.

But it seems that as the launch date approaches, the pop star is already feeling the nerves. On her Instagram profile, Sánchez shared some details from a video call they had.

“Is anyone else nervous, or am I the only Nellie Nervosa?” asked King. “I’ll be a little nervous, but I’ll be looking at you guys,” Perry responded.

The launch of the New Shepard rocket is scheduled for the second half of this year and will mark the tenth space tourism mission by the company, which has already taken 52 people to the Kármán Line, 100 kilometers from Earth, the boundary between Earth’s atmosphere and space.
