Blue Origin Sends 750th Human to Space in Landmark Suborbital Flight from Texas
Blue Origin launched six tourists on its NS-33 mission, sending them past the Kármán Line and marking the 750th human in space. The 10-minute suborbital flight reached 105.2 km before landing safely in West Texas. The crew, dubbed “The Solstice 33,” experienced weightlessness and carried student postcards as part of Blue Origin’s educationa...
