That’s one small step for Jeff Bezos, one giant leap for Amazon. The Blue Origin founder is blasting himself out of this world with three crewmates today for a quick sub-orbital flight. The goal? For his business to leap forward in the commercial space travel industry. But it’s just going to be ten minutes of flight time, almost like running to the pharmacy or walking to the dog (except in outer space). If you want to watch Bezos fly off the face of the Earth, we can help point you in the direction of the live stream.
Today’s mission marks the first launch of Blue Origin’s New Shephard spacecraft with passengers. The unit has already made 15 successful unpiloted tests, soaring over 60 miles above the Earth’s surface into weightless views of the heavens. The rocket boasts the largest windows ever built into a space capsule, meaning Bezos and his crew will enjoy gorgeous views of life above. Joining Bezos will be his brother, as well as both the youngest and oldest people to ever fly into space.
Whether you’re looking to stream the Blue Origin Space Mission event because you want to be shot into space yourself or you’re wondering if Bezos will encounter any aliens, here’s how to watch.
