The date for Katy Perry<\/a>\u2019s journey to space has been confirmed, and she doesn\u2019t have very long to prepare\u2026<\/p>\n

It was previously announced that the Firework singer, 40, would become the first pop star travelling to space<\/a> as part of a six-person, all female crew on Jeff Bezos<\/a>\u2019 rocket voyage.<\/p>\n

It has now been revealed that the flight will take off in two weeks, on the morning of April 14.<\/p>\n

The official Blue Origin<\/a> Instagram account shared an update today, telling fans: \u2018Just over two weeks until the NS-31 crew embarks on the journey of a lifetime and experiences the Overview Effect firsthand.<\/p>\n

\u2018New Shepard\u2019s crewed NS-31 mission is targeting liftoff from Launch Site One in the West Texas high desert on April 14 at 8:30 a.m. Central (13:30 UTC).\u2019<\/p>\n

The musician will be joined by CBS Mornings host Gayle King, and the Amazon boss\u2019 fianc\u00e9e Lauren Sanchez, who brought the mission together<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They will be flying on board the spacecraft with aerospace engineer Aisha Bowe, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen, and producer Kerianne Flynn.<\/p>\n

Despite being met with a wave of backlash after announcing her decision to jet off, many in the comments shared their hopes that Katy and co have a safe flight.<\/p>\n

Ming.Five urged: \u2018YOU BETTER HAVE KATY RETURN TO EARTH SAFE AND SOUND.\u2019<\/p>\n

Ladybug.cowan simply agreed: \u2018Praying for you @katyperry.\u2019<\/p>\n

Last month, Katy confirmed that she would be part of the space flight with a message on Instagram, but was forced to lock down her comments after fans blasted her decision.<\/p>\n

\u2018If you had told me that I would be part of the first ever all-female crew in space, I would have believed you,\u2019 the ET star said at the time.<\/p>\n

\u2018Nothing was beyond my imagination as a child. Although we didn\u2019t grow up with much, I never stopped looking at the world with hopeful WONDER!<\/p>\n

\u2018I work hard to live my life that way still, and I am motivated more than ever to be an example for my daughter that women should take up space (pun intended).<\/p>\n

\u2018That\u2019s why this opportunity is so incredible \u2014 so that I can show all of the youngest & most vulnerable among us to reach for the stars, literally and figuratively. I am honored to be among this diverse group of celestial sisters.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Katy is honored to be a part of Blue Origin\u2019s first all-female crew and hopes her journey encourages her daughter and others to reach for the stars, literally and figuratively,\u2019 a statement added.<\/p>\n

Many were left unimpressed with her post, urging her to think twice.<\/p>\n

Flocking to a post which still had comments enabled, Ren\u00e9e Duncan wrote: \u2018Read the room, Katy! First you endorse former GOP billionaire Rick Caruso for LA mayor, then you chose to work again with Dr. Luke, and now you\u2019re partnering with oligarch Bezos to go to space.\u2019<\/p>\n

Kyle Iannuzzi agreed: \u2018So disappointed to learn you\u2019re going to help with Bezos\u2019 marketing himself and his businesses on this space trip.<\/p>\n

\u2018Excited for you to have an opportunity to go to space, and with women, just feels counterintuitive to the whole idea of feminism in this concept given what Bezos stands for and is doing.\u2019<\/p>\n
