10 famous Londoners we think would slay in space

If you’ve felt a cosmic shift in your group chats, social feeds, or even your morning coffee energy, it’s not just Mercury in retrograde.

Blue Origin has officially launched the first-ever all-female crew into the great beyond, and Earthlings everywhere are losing their minds (in the best way possible).

Stars sent up into the abyss included pop-sensation Katy Perry, Lauren Sanchez, and Gayle King.

From memes orbiting faster than satellites to fashionistas dissecting space suits like they’re fresh off the runway, this launch has become less of a scientific milestone and more of a full-blown moment.

Whether you’re a die-hard space nerd or just here for the viral TikToks, one thing’s for sure: Blue Origin’s latest leap has everyone looking up - and we’re here for every gravity-defying second of it.

So, we’ve decided to come up with a list of Londoners we think would slay in space.

1. Bus Auntie - She would love to take a selfie in front of the space shuttle.

2. Jamie Laing - Ultramarathon man turned astronaut, he’d be doing cartwheels in space.

3. Dua Lipa - She would literally be levitating.

4. David Beckham - Let’s be real, the man’s a superhero.

5. Kate, Princess of Wales - She’s a warrior and would be incredible on a space expedition.
