Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin space company launched a New Shepard rocket for 7th time from Texas, testing new lunar-landing technology for NASA that could help put astronauts back on the moon by 2024. The entire flight, barely skimming space with a peak altitude of 66 miles , lasted just 10 minutes. The booster landed vertically back at the launch complex after liftoff, and the capsule followed., parachuting onto the desert floor.
