00:00At the top of Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket, there is a capsule, fitted with large portholes
00:12which can accommodate up to six people in reclinable seats.
00:16The reusable rocket takes off vertically.
00:21The capsule separates from the rocket at an altitude of 75 kilometres, continuing its
00:26trajectory until it passes the Kármán line at 100 kilometres, which defines the boundary
00:31between Earth's atmosphere and space.
00:35When it takes passengers, they will be able to float in weightlessness for about three
00:40minutes and observe the curvature of the Earth.
00:43During this time, the rocket will descend to land gently on a runway, kept in a vertical
00:48position.
00:50The capsule will be in free-fall, braked by three large parachutes and retro rockets before
00:56landing in the desert.
