Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin spacecraft successfully launches, lands 4th crewed flight

Blue Origin, the space tourism venture launched by entrepreneur Jeff Bezos, completed its fourth flight with a crew on Thursday, landing successfully in rural west Texas after taking a half-dozen passengers for a 10-minute suborbital joyride.

The New Shepard spacecraft blasted off at 8:59 a.m. CDT, and the crew capsule separated from the six-storey-tall rocket a short time later as it soared to an altitude of 106 kilometres.

The crew members experienced a few minutes of weightlessness at the very apex of their brief ride before the capsule fell back to Earth to the desert floor under a canopy of three parachutes, landing safely outside the west Texas town of Van Horn.

This was the flight actor and comedian Pete Davidson was set to take, but withdrew from.

Incorrect title: launching into low space and into orbit are 2 different things. They went high enough to be considered being in space but didn't come close to achieving the speed to make it into orbit.

Is it even legal to build an rocket in that shape??

A very expensive amusement park ride to up and down... 4th ride already, and this is kinda getting old. Do people still paying millions for this?

My transgendered daughter who identifies as a lizard loves Jeff Bezos.

This isn't news. Let us know when Bezos gets into orbit

Blue Origin’s pricing structure is by public auction. A single seat for the first 7 minute suborbital ride went for $28 million OR about 4 million per minute

It was a hard landing ? As a poor woman, I will never see how amazing earth on the space looks like. I feel it by faith.🙏

[AquarianNomadic]

And?
Didn't even know about it.
Too busy watching a real company called SpaceX.

OMG, was this another first landing for the first time, again?

"Welcome back to earth"...it never really left 🤣🤣 still a great step for forward nevertheless just call it for what it is, Suborbital test lauches

[TurningoffyourGaslights]

In spite of all the hype...the Karman line is only technically space...and Alan Shepard, Gus Grissom..and a chimpanzee.. did this on a Mercury-Redstone rocket back in 1961.
An over priced joyride for the rich...wasting more fuel per launch than a dozen families in several years, if not a lifetime.

Idea for a video, discuss please, what happens to are planet as the the overall mass decreases, from sending millions of tonnes of spaceships, satelites, ect.into space.Would decreasing the mass, however small, increase the speed the earth is going, gravity, and cause global warming?, just bored, was wondering your thoughts
