Blue Origin’s New Shepard Rocket Takes Off Vertically. At a height of about 75 km, the capsule separates from the launcher, continuing its trajectory until it reaches more than 100 km in height, the Karman line, which marks the beginning of space according to international convention.
Passengers can then get out of their seats, float for a few moments in weightlessness and admire the curvature of the Earth through large portholes.
Then, the capsule begins a free fall to return to Earth, stopped by parachutes and retrorockets. Jeff Bezos himself participated in the first New Shepard flight.
Since then, the spaceship has transported, among others, the actor who plays the iconic Captain Kirk from the Star Trek series, William Shatner, and Laura Shepard Churchleythe daughter of the first American to go into space.
