Blue Origin launches six tourists to the edge of space after nearly two-year hiatus

After nearly two years, Blue Origin has resumed its space tourism operations with the launch of six tourists to the edge of space. The hiatus followed a failed uncrewed test flight in 2022. The New Shepard rocket successfully carried passengers including Ed Dwight, who at 90 years old, became the oldest person to reach this near-space altitude. The flight marked a significant return to service, showcasing improvements made to ensure passenger safety and rocket reliability.
