Jeff Bezo's Blue Origin Conducts
Rocket Test Launch Number Nine The ninth launch of the New Shephard rocket was unmanned. The reusable rocket is designed to deliver payloads — and potentially tourists — to sub-orbital space. During this test, Blue Origin pushed
the rocket to its limits. The company said on Twitter, that the rocket performed a "high altitude escape motor test." The test conducts a high-altitude emergency scenario by igniting the escape booster on the bottom of the passenger/payload capsule. Both the booster and the capsule survived the test. The launch also included Blue Origin's "Fly My Stuff" program, where the company's employees send their own materials into space.
