How to watch Blue Origin's NS-25 private space tourist mission online today

Blue Origin is set to launch its first private space tourist mission, NS-25, since August 2022. The mission will feature six passengers, including Ed Dwight, the first-ever Black astronaut candidate. You can watch the live stream of the launch, which begins with a pre-show 40 minutes prior to the 9:30 a.m. EDT launch window on May 19, on Space.com.

The NS-25 marks the 25th flight for Blue Origin's New Shepard suborbital vehicle and the seventh crewed flight. The previous crewed flight, NS-22, occurred in August 2022, with subsequent missions paused due to a flight anomaly that has since been resolved. Passengers will experience brief weightlessness and views of Earth from space during their flight.
