Blue Origin to Launch First Crewed Mission Since 2022

The NS-25 mission marks the resumption of Blue Origin's space tourism flights after a nearly two-year hiatus following a launch anomaly.

The NS-25 mission will fly from Texas on May 19, carrying six crew members, including former astronaut candidate Ed Dwight.
This mission will make Ed Dwight, 90, the oldest person to take a suborbital space trip, surpassing William Shatner's record.
New Shepard's previous anomaly in 2022 led to an extensive investigation and redesign of the rocket's engine and nozzle.
Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket allows for vertical landings, enabling rapid reuse and reduced costs.
The crew includes a mix of entrepreneurs, engineers, and adventure travelers, reflecting diverse backgrounds and interests.
