Blue Origin conducted another test flight of its New Shepard rocket at the weekend, continuing a test program aimed at its suborbital space tourism goals. Marked by a successful – and sporty – landing at the company’s West Texas site, this booster has now launched and landed three times since its debut in November. The vehicle’s capsule also enjoyed a safe return to terra firma.
