Blue Origin Release Flight Videos

Posted by samzenpus on from the up-up-and-away dept.

Reality Master 101 writes "Space start-up Blue Origin (financed by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos) had a secret test flight on November 13, 2006. They've now released video and pictures of the very successful flight. Looks like they're making good progress." From the page: "We're working, patiently and step-by-step, to lower the cost of spaceflight so that many people can afford to go and so that we humans can better continue exploring the solar system. Accomplishing this mission will take a long time, and we're working on it methodically."

    This thing went about 50 feet into the air and came back down. Unimpressed.

    It says it was "successful" but all I see is a bunch of pictures of the thing sitting on the ground.
