Upon their return, the 6 women shared their emotions regarding the experience, Perry describing the journey as 'the highest high,' and King saying that the trip 'served as a reminder that we need to do better, be better.'

Jeff Bezos did the honor of welcoming the crew back to Earth as they exited the space capsule, while many other high profile celebrities were in attendance to experience the launch in person, including Oprah, Khloé Kardashian, and Kris Jenner.
