Summary from the TLDR newsletter
Blue Origin's twelfth New Shepard passenger flight blasted off on Saturday carrying an international crew of four men and two women. The crew rocketed to the edge of space, an altitude of nearly 65 miles, before descending in the West Texas desert 10 minutes after liftoff. Blue Origin has now launched 68 passengers, four of whom have flown twice. It is estimated that a seat aboard New Shepard costs upwards of $500,000.
