Katy Perry is said to have specific 'regrets' about the all-female Blue Origin launch that made global headlines earlier this month.

On April 14, the pop star joined Blue Origin's New Shepard's 31st force to space, after launching from Launch Site One in West Texas.

The crew included Perry, former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, documentary producer Kerianne Flynn, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyễn, journalist and CBS Mornings co-host Gayle King, plus author and journalist Lauren Sánchez, who also happens to be the fiancé of Blue Origin founder and Amazon leader, Jeff Bezos.

The mission saw the crew up in the suborbital craft and floating in the capsule in what was a pivotal moment in history.

There were a lot of theories discussed online regarding the mission, with some people believing that they had proof that the whole thing was fake.

The trip was only an 11-minute round trip as the group only spent a total of four minutes in space.

They became the first all-female crew to visit space since Valentina Tereshkova was sent up in 1963, in a move that has been met with a fair bit of controversy.

Amid all the noise, Perry is said to now be regretting certain aspects of the space trip.

A source close to the singer told the Daily Mail: "Katy doesn't regret going to space. It was life changing. What she does regret is making a public spectacle out of it."

The 'Roar' singer is also said she 'wishes the video footage from inside the pod was never shown', according to the insider.

Many celebrities have called out the mission, including New Girl star Olivia Munn.

In an episode of Today with Jenna and Friends which aired earlier this month, the actor questioned what the all-women crew are 'doing,' as quoted by Page Six.

Munn said: "I know this probably isn’t the cool thing to say, but there are so many other things that are so important in the world right now. I know this is probably obnoxious, but like, it’s so much money to go to space, and there’s a lot of people who can’t even afford eggs.

Munn then argued that 'space exploration' is typically about 'further[ing] our knowledge and to help mankind', suggesting the recent mission was simply a PR stunt.

"What are they gonna do up there that has made it better for us down here?" the 44-year-old added.
