Blue Origin announced on May 14 its seventh human flight, NS-25, will lift off from Launch Site One in West Texas on Sunday, May 19. The launch window opens at 8:30 a.m. CDT, 13:30 UTC, and 15:30 CEST.
Blue Origin revealed on May 14 the six-person crew flying on its NS-25 mission. The crew includes Mason Angel, Sylvain Chiron, Kenneth L. Hess, Carol Schaller, Gopi Thotakura, and former Air Force Captain Ed Dwight, who was selected by President John F. Kennedy in 1961 as the nation’s first Black astronaut candidate but was never granted the opportunity to fly to space.
This mission will be the seventh human flight for the New Shepard program and the 25th in its history. To date, the program has flown 31 humans above the Kármán line.
From an environmental standpoint, nearly 99% of New Shepard’s dry mass is reused, including the booster, capsule, engine, landing gear, and parachutes. New Shepard’s engine is fueled by highly efficient liquid oxygen and hydrogen. During flight, the only byproduct is water vapor with no carbon emissions. - Věda a technologie
In addition to the ladder, you must have an ax and a shovel.
Many Congratulations Gopigaru ....we are all so proud and exited...
Congratulations Gopi and the team
Yea, space. Thank you.
Stupid question...but does one have to pay to do this ? Like, whts the criterion for selection & what in it for these civil "astronauts" after this ?
We can design anything but cannot build a decent ladder…. Just put self leveling legs n it…
