Today, Blue Origin successfully completed its eighth human spaceflight and the 26th flight for the New Shepard program. Our astronaut crew included: Nicolina Elrick, Rob Ferl, Eugene Grin, Dr. Eiman Jahangir, Karsen Kitchen, and Ephraim Rabin.


Including today’s crew, New Shepard has now flown 43 people into space.


Karsen Kitchen made history as the youngest woman ever to cross the Kármán line. 


Rob Ferl became the first NASA-funded researcher to conduct an experiment as part of a commercial suborbital space crew.
