Blue Origin plans to launch its New Shepard rocket as early as 9:30AM ET on May 19th, carrying human beings into space for the first time since 2022.
It’s been over a year and a half since Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket failed mid-flight, and more than two since its last crewed flight. Now, the company is go to launch six human beings into space. The company’s launch window begins at 6:30AM PT / 9:30AM ET, but will start streaming 40 minutes ahead of time on its website. Blue Origin also normally streams its launches live on its YouTube channel, so it’s a pretty safe bet it will do so for its NS-25 mission tomorrow.
The other passengers are Mason Angel, Sylvain Chiron, Kenneth L. Hess, Carol Schaller, and Gopi Thotakura. Jeff Bezos’ company decided to put its private space tourism flights on hold after a September 2022 rocket booster issue, which was later identified as an engine nozzle failure, triggered its uncrewed capsule’s emergency escape system.
