"Blue Origin’s New Shepard space vehicle successfully flew to space, reaching its planned test altitude of 329,839 feet (100.5 kilometers) before executing a historic landing back at the launch site in West Texas."

When it's mid flight, it looks like a dongrocket. But super impressive that it vertically landed successfully

Very cool! Surprised this has not been a goal of more space vehicles.

That's cool! Can future versions of this rocket take people to Mars?

Matt Damon needs a ride back home. :troll:

interesting reading the differences of the two..

This rocket looks far easier to use and seemingly worked like a charm, however it seems like the SpaceX rockets are trying to achieve much more than Bezo's current model here
