Blue Origin's New Shepard Completes 10th Crewed Flight, Surpassing 50 Space Travelers

The NS-30 mission carried six passengers, including a previously unidentified customer, to the edge of space and back in a 10-minute journey.

Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket has now flown 52 people to space, achieving this milestone with its 10th crewed mission, NS-30.
The flight launched from Launch Site One in Texas, reaching an altitude of 105 kilometers, just beyond the Kármán line, the boundary of space.
The NS-30 crew included five named passengers and one unidentified individual known only as 'R. Wilson,' marking the first time a customer has flown with partial anonymity.
Passengers experienced moments of weightlessness and panoramic views of Earth before safely returning via the reusable capsule and booster system.
Blue Origin continues to expand its space tourism program, with growing demand for flights and a second crew capsule added to its fleet in late 2024.
