Katy Perry: Singing "What a Wonderful World," renowned singer Katy Perry was one of the six women who mounted Blue Origin's historic flight about 11 minutes to the very edge of space.

Perry's crew mates asked her to sing anything, whether it was "Roar" or "Firework," but Perry later commented that this moment wasn't about her or her 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," Perry said. "This is all for the benefit of Earth."

Perry's song choice was the subject of the post-flight interview conducted by "CBS Mornings" co-host Gayle King.

"The best part was when we got back in our seats after zero Gs, Katy sang 'What a Wonderful World,'" King said.

Perry also talked about her daughter, who was cheering her on during the spaceflight.

The pop singer said she had taken along a daisy flower.

"Daisies are common flowers but they grow through any condition," Perry said. "They grow through cement. They grow through cracks. They grow through walls. They are resilient. They are powerful. They are strong. They are everywhere. Flowers to me are God's smile, but it's also a reminder of our beautiful Earth and the flowers here."

Along with Perry and King, the spaceflight included journalist and philanthropist Lauren Sánchez; film producer Kerianne Flynn; former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe; and civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen.
