Abstract

Blue Origin, the space exploration company founded by Jeff Bezos, is set to resume its space tourism launches on Sunday after a two-year hiatus due to a rocket failure. The New Shepard rocket will carry six private passengers, including Ed Dwight, the first Black astronaut candidate selected in 1961. Blue Origin has previously launched six tourist missions, including flights with celebrities like William Shatner and Michael Strahan. The company is also working on a larger rocket, the New Glenn, and has plans to send humans to the moon in the future. [Extracted from the article]
