Blue Origin Successfully Launches 10th Space Tourism Mission (NS-30) 🚀

Blue Origin successfully launched its 10th space tourism mission, NS-30, today, February 25, 2025. The New Shepard rocket lifted off from the company’s West Texas launch site at 10:30 a.m. EST (1530 GMT), carrying six passengers to the edge of space. The mission provided the crew with a few minutes of weightlessness before safely returning to Earth. New Shepard, named after astronaut Alan Shepard, is designed for suborbital flights and has been operational since its first crewed mission in July 2021. Each flight crosses the Kármán line, the internationally recognized boundary of space at 100 kilometers above sea level. A replay of the launch is available on Blue Origin’s official website and YouTube channel. The company continues to advance its space tourism program, with more missions planned throughout the year, marking another step toward making space travel accessible to private individuals.
