Blue Origin Makes Historic Rocket Landing (with video)
“Blue Origin today announced that its New Shepard space vehicle successfully flew to space, reaching its planned test altitude of 329,839 feet (100.5 kilometers) before executing a historic landing back at the launch site in West Texas.

Full reuse is a game changer, and we can’t wait to fuel up and fly again.”
