Bezos' Blue Origin launches New Shepard with 'astronaut rehearsal'

Jeff Bezos-owned Blue Origin successfully launched the New Shepard rocket on Wednesday. The uncrewed reusable spacecraft soared roughly 105-km above ground to suborbital space and returned for a parachute-assisted landing at the launch facility. An “astronaut rehearsal” was also carried out wherein Blue Origin personnel entered the capsule prior to the launch to go through pre-flight operations.
