Yesterday at 18: 18 Polish time Blue Origin sent on its first suborbital flight an improved New Shepard capsule. This is another test of the spacecraft for astronauts, the development of which is the responsibility of the company of the founder of Amazon.com – Jeff Besos. The company clearly aims to create a solution that allows tourist flights to orbit. This is nothing but the growing competition for the SpaceX project. Elon Musk should not underestimate the serious player who, as can be seen from the title information, takes the matter seriously and achieves success in this field. What exactly was yesterday’s Blue Origin New Shepard test flight to check and can we talk about the full success of the process stage?

The creator of Amazon’s power, Jeff Besos, specifically his company Blue Origin, took another step towards popularizing tourist flights. The New Shepard capsule made another test flight focused on crew amenities.

We live in amazing times, in which all the technology that surrounds us significantly and really increases the comfort of life human. Convenience, security and entertainment are not all that today’s world offers us. Giants-innovators work on a variety of solutions dedicated to various aspects of life. This also applies to traveling. Tourism may see enormous changes in the coming years. Soon, instead of intercontinental travel, we will fund “space trips”, which SpaceX and Blue Origin are working on.

The latter company sent yesterday modernized manned tourist flights and the safety of passengers, the New Shepard capsule in flight along a sub-orbital trajectory. At its peak, an altitude of approximately 105 km was reached. The reusable rocket returned to the ground and landed smoothly. It was similar with the New Shepard capsule itself (RSS First Step), but here parachutes were used. This is another success of Blue Origin, a company that simply strives to make tourist space flights available to everyone.
