Katie. No, you're not the crier of the
of the group. No, you are not.
I'm I'm gonna tell you something right now. You
are officially an astronaut. Thank you so much.
How do you feel? I feel super connected to
love, so connected to love. I think this
experience has shown me, you never know how much
love is inside of you, like how much love
you have to give and how loved you are until
the day you launch. We had these incredible shots
of Daisy watching you as the rockets, it will
make me cry, the rockets going up, and
she was so proud. I just kept saying,
Mommy, mommy. And I know you'll feel the
same way when you watch it, uh, and
you brought a real life daisy. It was important
for you not only because it's your daughter's name,
but why else was that important to bring Daisies are
common flowers, but they grow through any condition.
They grow through. Cement they go through cracks they
go through walls. They are resilient. They are
powerful. They are strong. They are everywhere.
Flowers are to me God's smile, but it's also
a a reminder of our beautiful earth and the flowers
here and God's smile and the beautiful magic that is
everywhere all around us and. Even in a simple
daisy, so to really appreciate it and remember it
and take care of it and protect it. Gayle
shared with us the song that you sang. When
you got up there, what a wonderful world.
Why was that important to sing that particular song?
I've covered that song in the past and um obviously
like my higher self is always steering the ship cause
I had no clue that one day I would decide
to sing a little bit of that in space,
but I think that. It's not about me,
it's not about singing my songs. It's about a
collective energy in there, it's about us, it's
about making space for future women and taking up space
and belonging. And it's about this wonderful world that
we see right out there and appreciating it. This
is all for the benefit of Earth. You have
done so many incredible things in your life, selling
millions of records, selling out stadiums. Where does
this experience break for you? Uh, this experience
, uh, is right, it's second to being
a mom. Wow. Yeah. That's it and
that's why it was hard for me to go because
that's all my love right there and, and I
have to surrender and trust that the universe is gonna
take care of me and protect me and also my
family and my daughter because like I am full up
from being able to get that gift of being a
mom and. And to go to space is incredible
, and I wanted to model courage and um worthiness
and fearlessness. You did. You said you wanted
to go to space for the fearless women in your
life as well, your sister and your mom.
What was their reaction when you got to see them
after you got off the capsule? I have only
seen my mom, and I was like, Are
you OK, Mom? She just, she just
knew. She knew she was totally OK and I
, I'm sure she was speaking in tongues underneath her
breath as she does, um, all the time
she would do that for anything else but definitely today
. um, but she was so super confident.
My mom, she has this thing where she can
see. I mean, even down to the name
of like. The capsule being tortoise. I know
you, you spoke to all of your fans about
that, that the capsules named tortoise, the feather
on the side that, you know, the symbol
of blue origin, all of those gave you confidence
that this was the right thing for you to do
, correct? Yeah, because I just asked for
a sign from the heavens, from my angels,
and they're like, Well, here's the feather,
which is what your mother calls you, and if
that's not enough, the cap. named Tortoise,
which is the second nickname that your mother calls you
, and I'm like, OK, I'm going,
I'm going. I got the message and I'm gonna
get the message. Uh, before I let you
get back to your family, I just have to
ask you, describe for us because you're so brilliant
at at putting, you know, words together and
describing moments that we can all appreciate later. How
would you describe the moment when you took off and
then the moment you landed? The moment I mean
it is the highest high and it is surrender to
the unknown, trust, um, and this whole
journey is not just about going to space. It's
the training, it's the, the team, it's
the whole thing. I, I couldn't recommend this
experience more, this is like up there with all
the, you know, different, um, Tools
that I've learned in my life from meditation to the
Hoffman process this is up there because what you're doing
is you're you're like really finding the love for yourself
because you gotta trust in yourself on this journey and
then you're feeling the love when you come down for
sure and you're feeling that strength so I feel really
connected to that strong. Divine feminine right now.
By the way, you're such a badass. I
love that the month of April, you're like,
I'm going to space and I'm launching my tour and
it's really incredible. I, now I know I'm
, I'm asking this question for your fans. Will
you write a song about this experience? Oh,
for sure, 100%. And not only that,
I, um, got to reveal my setlist for
the tour on a butterfly. How apropos just flying
in space. I don't know if anyone's ever.
ever done that before, so I'll just, well
, there's a lot of things that you have done
first. Uh, you are now officially an astronaut
, and let me just tell you, on behalf
of everyone here at Blue Origin, on our webcast
and everyone, all of these individuals that put this
incredible thing on, congratulations. Thank you for sharing
your, uh, it's a, uh, 10
out of 10. That's my review. You definitely
go for it. 10 out of 10. Thank
you, Katie. Congratulations.
