Jeff Bezos’ rocket company will launch another test of its tourism spaceship

It will be the 11th uncrewed test of Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket, and it could be one of the last before the company starts selling tickets and sending its first customers to space. Blue Origin said earlier this year that it wants New Shepard to be open for business in 2019.

A capsule outfitted with giant windows for future tourists to gaze out of sits on top of the rocket. But it’s not ready for people just yet: Blue Origin said the rocket will carry 38 research payloads during Friday’s flight.
