Blue Origin is still very eager to grab the headlines with its space flight passengers, although it sometimes pushes the limits. Jeff Bezos’ firm has announced that the New Shepard mission on December 9 will be the first mission to take six passengers into space, including Laura Shepard Churchley. Laura is the daughter of American astronaut Alan Bartlett Shepard, who was the first American and the second man in space.
Other passengers include Voyager Space chief Dylan Taylor, engineer and investor Evan Dick, venture capitalist Lane Bess and his child, Cameron Bess (who will also be the first Twitch streamer to go into space). The launch is scheduled for December 9 at 10 a.m. US time.
