The mission reached the edge of space and lasted 10 minutes.
Jeff Bezos’ space company Blue Origin launched a six-person crew — including the first U.S. Black astronaut candidate from the 1960s — from West Texas to the edge of space on Sunday, resuming its centerpiece space tourism business for the first time since its suborbital New Shepard rocket was grounded in 2022.
