Watch Blue Origin test the Crew Capsule on their New Shepard Rocket!

Blue Origin will be conducting the 14th flight of its New Shepard launch vehicle on the NS-14 mission. Blue Origin eventually aims to enable people (with a good amount of money) to purchase a ticket on a suborbital flight. This will be the inaugural flight of the fourth New Shepard booster – the very rocket that will soon carry humans. New Shepard only has the ability to launch on a suborbital trajectory with an apogee of 119 km (74 miles) – their record.

That drone shot was badass. It almost looked CG because of how clear it was!

They should called the landing pad "Padme" aka Pad-me. Gives Manakin Skywalker hope for a safe landing.

Blue Origin's choice to use imperial units actually puts me off them.

Looks like a Giant Cordless Hitachi Magic Wand, right down to the Coloring.

[highball]

Just curious. Are they going to just keep “testing” this for the next 20 years or will this commercial space flight thing ever happen?
Virgin galactic same thing. Both had successful test flights YEARS ago but no dice yet.

"did a nice little maneuver to get to the center of the pad...that's what we're looking for, this never gets old..." please give the lady a pair of glasses...or a lesson from geometry 😂

[mskiptr]

Good bless you for these timestamps!

This is _so huge improvement_ for anyone watching it not-live… Thousands of people don't have to watch all the waiting in-between and so on.

[milkyo]

How the hell do they not have live cameras on their rocket isn't Bezoz a billionaire?

[dgodiex]

Compared to your overwhelming excitement for even the smallest of the SpaceX's events, your lack of enthusiasm about this is hilarious. :))

[Daniela-prrz]

Tim trying to find something exciting about this: "I wanna ride the booster...."

[smooth-juice]

Thanks Tim much appreciated you you doing all these live videos like the others you have come along way in the quality of your videos and it’s great seeing all these many many test flights whether successful or have some sort of problems. Looking forward to the future watching all your videos and thank you Tim. 🖖🏻

[slimessiful]

I don't get it what's new? they did this back in 2016 or something

[unknownuser]

Now for the real rocket. When's sn9 launching?

[andrewpaulhart]

I suppose that new Shepard needs to have the absolute confidence of the prospective customers, so lots of successful flights are probably very necessary. However, it does seem strange that they take such a long time between test flights

[SahilTiwariOnPlus]

Everyone: This rocket resembles a phallus, what's it called.
Me: The Flying Phuck

"It's cold outside, there's no kind of atmosphere" LOL I thought the presenter was quoting from the Red Dward theme song for a second there
