Blue Origin launches six tourists to the edge of space after nearly two-year hiatus
Blue Origin’s tourism rocket recently resumed its flights to the edge of space after a hiatus of nearly two years, following a failed uncrewed test flight.
The New Shepard rocket, along with its capsule, took off from Blue Origin’s facilities in West Texas, carrying six passengers on board.
Among them were individuals from various backgrounds, including a venture capitalist, a brewery founder, and a retired US Air Force captain who was once a candidate to become the nation’s first Black astronaut.
Despite not making it into the NASA Astronaut Corps, the retired captain, Ed Dwight, fulfilled a lifelong dream by reaching the edge of space at the age of 90, becoming the oldest person to do so.
Reflecting on the experience, he described it as life-changing and emphasized its significance for everyone, CNN has reported.
