Blue Origin Completes Ninth Crewed Space Tourism Flight with Six Passengers

The mission included a husband-and-wife duo making their second trip, a science communicator marking a milestone, and three first-time space tourists.

Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket successfully launched six passengers to the edge of space and back in a 10-minute suborbital flight from West Texas.
Marc and Sharon Hagle became the first married couple to take two commercial spaceflights together, having previously flown in 2022.
Emily Calandrelli, a science communicator and TV host, became the 100th woman to travel to space and described the experience as profoundly moving.
The flight reached an altitude of over 347,000 feet, crossing the Kármán Line, the internationally recognized boundary of space.
This marks Blue Origin's 28th New Shepard mission and ninth crewed flight, bringing the total number of individuals flown by the company to 47.
