The Blue Origin space rocket has made its first passenger flight to the edge of space after almost two years of silence caused by a failed unmanned test launch.
The New Shepard rocket and capsule carried six people, including a venture capitalist, a brewing company founder, an engineer and entrepreneur, an accountant, a pilot and a retired military man who was the first black astronaut candidate in the United States. They set off on a journey to the edge of space from a private ranch in West Texas.
