Amazon guy Jeff Bezos is amazing! Invested his millions into building Blue Origin, and flew into space (or the edge of it, definitions vary-take your pick) on July 20, 2021. Some pics taken from the live coverage by CNN.
Taking off around 8 am Texas time. 20 July 2021.
Up and about, around 3 minutes flight.
After 3 more minutes in weightless glory up there, gliding back on a parachute, after a drop of some height.
Parachutes open, to make the drop slower and palatable.
Landing- while raising some dust.
Looks like the captain of Starship Enterprise?
Lasted less than 15 minutes. Open for tourists soon. Interested?
