Katy Perry and Lauren Sanchez blasted into space on Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket yesterday .

But the craft was entirely controlled from the ground, meaning no-one on board controlled any aspects of the flight.

This makes them ineligible for official astronaut status - and instead, they're classed as 'space travellers' In 2004 , the FAA launched its Commercial Space Astronaut Wings Program .

This recognised anyone who flew on an FAA -approved vehicle above 50 miles as an astronaut and made them eligible to receive astronaut wings.

But as commercial spaceflight programs became more common the FAA moved to tighten the rules governing who gets to be an astronaut.
