In fact, all achieved varying degrees of success. There have been several different iterations of the New Shepard. However they separate in mid-air, with the booster falling back down to Earth and the capsule being hurled into space. It’s composed of two distinct parts the crew capsule and the rocket booster. This is the international threshold between Earth and space. The New Shepard was the first suborbital vehicle from Blue Origin that was able to carry a crew and cargo above the Karman line. Blue Origin then crafted the Goddard rocket which had successful flights back in late 2006 and was able to reach an altitude of 300 feet in ten seconds. The Charon now lives in the Museum of Flight in Seattle, Washington. Not too impressive, right? Well the Charon was designed as a low-altitude vehicle with the main purpose being to test autonomous guidance technology that would eventually be used in the company’s rockets. One is the Charon jet-powered VTOL which made its inaugural test flight above Moses Lake, Washington at an altitude of 316 feet.
The company has produced a few vehicles already. However, you can’t trade it yet as there’s no ticker on the stock market. He talked about how he would “build space hotels, amusement parks and colonies for 2 million or 3 million people who would be in orbit.” Blue Origin is described as an aerospace manufacturer specializing in sub-orbital spaceflight services and is headquartered in Kent, Washington, a few towns over from where Amazon is headquartered. Blue Origin was formed on Septemnearly 18 years after Jeff Bezos gave his valedictorian speech to his high school graduation class.If you know what SpaceX and Virgin Galactic do as companies, you’ll quickly understand what Bezos’ Blue Origin is doing as well. How about Richard Branson’s company, Virgin Galactic? It debuted as a SPAC IPO last October under the ticker symbol ( NYSE:SPCE). You may have heard of Elon Musk’s company SpaceX which was the first private firm to launch a manned space shuttle into orbit earlier this year. So what does Blue Origin do anyway? It’s one of a handful of firms that are attempting to bring space travel to a mainstream audience.
