Blue Origin Completes Third Crewed Space Flight, Daughter of First American Astronaut Alan Shepard on Board

Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin company sent its third private crew member into space on Saturday and brought it back safely, this time including the daughter of the first American astronaut.

This stubby white spacecraft with a round tip flew into a clear blue sky over West Texas, flew for about 11 minutes, and reached the internationally recognized space boundary at a height of 62 miles (100 kilometers). Laura Shepard-Churchley, his father Alan Shepard became the first American to enter space in 1961, flying as a guest of Blue Origin.

The company’s suborbital rocket is actually named New Shepard in honor of the pioneer astronaut.

American Football Hall of Fame member and TV personality Michael Strahan was also a guest, as well as four paying customers: aerospace executive and philanthropist Dylan Taylor, investor Evan Dick, founder of Beth Ventures Ryan Beth and Cameron Beth.

Lane and Cameron Bess became the first parent-child pair to fly in space. The fare has not yet been announced.

On May 5, 1961, Alan Shepard made American history with a 15-minute suborbital space flight. Yuri Gagarin in the Soviet Union became the first space to orbit the earth. Less than a month later.

Shepard died in 1998 and later became the fifth of 12 people to set foot on the moon. A foundation that promotes science and raises funds for college students, said in a video before the flight. “I am very proud of my father’s legacy.”

The previous Blue Origin flight took the company’s billionaire founder Bezos and Star Trek actor William Shatner into space.

Bezos, who made his fortune in the Amazon, envisions a future in which humans will be scattered throughout the solar system, living and working in huge space colonies of artificial gravity.

He said that this will make the earth a primitive tourist destination, just like today’s national parks.

2021 is of great significance to the space tourism industry. Virgin Galactic also sent its founder Richard Branson to the last frontier. Elon Musk’s SpaceX sent four private citizens on a three-day charity orbital mission.
