Jeff Bezos isn’t letting Elon Musk have all the fun. Bezos’s Blue Origin just launched their latest human-rated capsule on a test flight.
The uncrewed NS-27 mission finally took off—after a couple of nail-biting weeks of delays.
The rocket-capsule duo had no humans on board, just 12 research payloads to keep it company.
It briefly touched suborbital space and got a nice view before returning for a textbook landing.
Blue Origin’s new crew capsule even made a graceful parachute landing out in the West Texas desert.
This launch marks the debut of the second human-ready New Shepard vehicle, aiming to cater more to the growing crowd of space tourists craving a quick cosmic getaway.
Looks like the billionaire space race is far from over!
