Blue Origin Launches Crew to Edge of Space After Nearly Two-Year Hiatus

Blue Origin successfully launched a six-person crew on its New Shepard rocket from West Texas to the edge of space on May 19, marking the company's return to its space tourism business after a two-year hiatus. The mission, dubbed NS-25, was the seventh crewed flight for Blue Origin and carried customers aboard the capsule. Ed Dwight, who became the oldest person in space at 90 years and eight months, was part of the crew.
