Blue Origin successfully launches latest human flight from West Texas
EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — After a week's delay, space technology company Blue Origin successfully launched its latest human crewed New Shepard flight on Sunday, June 29 from its launch facility outside of Van Horn, Texas. Last week, the crewed flight was scrubbed twice because of windy weather. Sunday's New Shepard flight — named after legendary astronaut Alan Shepard, the first American to travel into space — was the company's 13th human space flight and 33rd overall for the program. Including Sunday's flight, New Shepard has flown 70 people to space, including four who have flown twice. New Shepard is Blue Origin's fully resusable, suborbital rocket system built for human flight. During the 11-minute flight, astronauts travel past the Karman line — 62 miles up and the internationally recognized boundary of space. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
