Blue Origin has used the same type of rocket to send tourists to the edge of space, but this time, only science experiments were on board.Jeff Bezos’ rocket company, Blue Origin, suffered its first launch failure Monday.
The rocket crashed back to Earth with no reported injuries or damage, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement."Before the New Shepard vehicle can return to flight, the FAA will determine whether any system, process, or procedure related to the mishap affected public safety," the statement read."This is standard practice for all mishap investigations."
During this period of flight, the booster would throttle back its engine to endure the stress before throttling back up to reach maximum height before a planned separation. But during Monday's mission, the capsule instead ejected itself away from the booster."This wasn't planned and we don't have any details yet," said Erika Wagner, Blue Origin's web hostin the New Shepard rocket.
"I don't think most space tourists are going to be paying much attention to this," she said. "The ones who are already ticket holders are probably already well versed in the dangers. I see this as a tiny blip that Blue Origin will get over, the whole suborbital commercial space industry will get over."
