Blue Origin launched and landed New Shepard rocket on Wednesday, April 14 at 10:56 AM CDT (15:56 UTC) from Corn Ranch Spaceport, Texas. This was Blue Origin’s 15th uncrewed flight of its New Shepard rocket.

New Shepard is designed to take people and payloads to suborbital space and back. It is expected to start sending space tourists this year. Ticket reservations are still on hold.

Successful flight! I assume landings with passengers will be a bit softer...

The capsule will have six seats, with a mannequin dubbed “Mannequin Skywalker” occupying one of them.

Yeah, it is Bezos' project, but, “Mannequin Skywalker” is pretty funny. And, competition is a good thing.

Oops, typo in the date. So much for my proofreading.

Blue Origin creeps me out. They are gaslighting us. Comparing Blue Origin’s progress to SpaceX and other’s progress is embarrassing.

SpaceX is shooting for an orbital test this July with Starship, the biggest rocket ever, and fully recoverable to boot!

I can’t get interested in following a space program that wants to keep launching rockets that look like an adult sex toys.

Sorry, but if Bezos’ rocket was bent, it would be a dead ringer for the rocket in in stop-action for the R rated parody up of Flash Gordon, "Flesh Gordon" in which the hero, Flesh tries to save the heroine, Dale Ardor and the Earth, from usurper Emperor Wang the Perverted and his plan to hit the Earth with the all powerful seX-Ray. Aided by Earth’s smartest man, Professor Flexi Jerkov, Flesh battles Wang in his Flexi designed, curved, space craft (hung on a hilariously obvious wire), rescues Dale from an equally hilarious King Kong like Sex Monster with a exceedingly dry wit, attacks from penisauruses, and seeks to put Prince Precious, the rightful ruler of Planet Porno back on the throne! It’s absurd and totally hilarious...

And, Flesh’s rocket is a dead-ringer for Bezos’ Blue Horizon if blue Horizon develops a slight case of Peyronie’s disease.

Really, I can’t look at that rocket without laughing!

My Lady said when we watch this week’s launch and she first saw Blue Horizon, "Now that’s absolute proof that some inadequate men will go to absurd lengths and spare no expense to find that elusive G spot!"

I fell out of my chair...

Greatest stop-action ever. I shall say no more...
