We had a great day on Tuesday: the first 4 astronauts to fly on @blueorigin’s New Shepard returned to earth with broad grins and infectious enthusiasm! #NSFirstHumanFlight

I started at @blueorigin in 2012 and have been fortunate to work on every New Shepard mission in its history. Serving as Flight Director for #NSFirstHumanFlight roll-out has been a highlight!

The current high bid for a seat aboard New Shepard for our first astronaut flight is $2.8M. It’s wonderful to see so much interest!

Update: #NewShepard NS-13 launch is a no go for today. We are working to verify a fix on a technical issue and taking an extra look before we fly. New launch target forthcoming.

It was great to see our team’s lander mock-up in person. The idea of landing on the moon is what got most of us into this business!
Blue Origin’s Nick Patrick and Mike Good, former @NASA astronauts, visited @NASA_Johnson to evaluate our National Team’s engineering mockup – a step in our journey to return to the #Moon. We are fortunate to have their experience to ensure astronaut compatibility.
