Khloé Kardashian and Kris Jenner rushed to Katy Perry, Lauren Sánchez and Gayle King to show their support during their Blue Origin NS-31 spaceflight.
The mother-daughter duo –– who are close friends with Sánchez and her fiancé, Jeff Bezos –– watched with family and friends of the six female civilians aboard the rocket at the site in Van Horn, Texas, Monday morning.
The “Kardashians” stars explained in an interview with the live Blue Origin broadcast that they wanted to “support our girlfriend and our friends.”

“This is a really unique experience and we’re just so honored to be here to support them and watch this amazing part of history, and I’m so proud of her,” Jenner, 69, said of Sánchez, 55.
Kardashian, 40, jumped in to clarify that they were proud of “all of the female astronauts” –– which also includes NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen and film producer Kerianne Flynn.
Jenner added that Kim Kardashian wanted to join them but had to stay home.

“So, it’s very inspirational, and I’m just super proud of the girls –– every one of them,” Jenner added. “It’s a very brave thing to do.”
Kardashian also spoke to the inspiration and added, “I just think it’s really whatever you dream of it is within our reach –– especially in our day and age. Dream big, wish for the stars and maybe one day you can be amongst them.”
The “Kardashians” stars urged their friends to “be as present as possible” and stay “in the moment.”

After the crew safely landed back on Earth, Kardashian and Jenner smiled and clapped while telling the Blue Origin reporter that they got “emotional” watching the 11-minute trip.
“I literally had chills all over my body from the second it launched until the moment I just saw it land, and it’s sort of hard to explain, because I don’t think you’d be that emotional, but it’s incredible,” Kardashian gushed. “It takes your breath away.”
The Kardashians were also joined by Oprah Winfrey, who showed up to support her best friend, King, 70.

Prior to the launch, Winfrey told reporters she felt “so calm.”
“I don’t think I’ve ever been so calm, because I think it’s already done,” Winfrey said. “Once [King] finally said yes, I was like, ‘OK, we’re going. It’s a go!’”
The six women, who were all decked out in full glam, were overheard screaming in excitement while they experienced weightlessness and saw the Earth from space.
