MINUTE RELAXATION: Blue Origin, the first space tourists coming soon?

If Elon Musk is making great strides with his company Space X, the founder of the giant Amazon, Jeff Bezos is not left with his project Blue Origin whose last test was successful yesterday. Indeed, with this new success, Jeff Bezos' space company "Blue Origin" claims to be able to send the first tourists into space very soon.


New Shepard's “Blue Origin” capsule

FROM 170 to 000 EUROS FOR A TRIP OF 250 MINUTES!


Would you like a little space trip? Well, break the little pig right now because you will have to pay an amount included between € 170 and € 000 to take advantage of a seat in future tourist trips of " Blue Origin"

Following the success of the 15th and last test flight of his rocket New shepard yesterday, the space company of Jeff Bezos “Blue Origin” seems ready to send passengers into space as early as April 2021.

So what exactly is this short epic ? Customers who have paid and will pay will take off in a capsule that will take them to an altitude of 100 km. They will spend a few minutes in zero gravity before coming back down to earth. Equipped with six seats, the capsule is equipped with very large windows that allow you to contemplate the earth and space.

The next flight will therefore be manned and contrary to what one might think, this transport system will obviously not offer space travel but ascending flights up to a hundred kilometers in altitude in order to cross the Kármán line, which defines the border between the Earth's atmosphere and space (arbitrarily set at 100 kilometers altitude).

If the News Shepard is able to fly up to approximately 120 kilometers of altitude, during the last flight it reached 109 kilometers, the capsule can hardly go higher without risking too strong thermal and aerodynamic constraints during the return to the ground. . In addition, the maximum speed of the capsule is a little over 3.600 kilometers per hour, which remains far from the speed necessary for possible orbiting and therefore flying in space.

So, you like it ? Do not hesitate to tell us if you would be ready to do anything to try this unique adventure!
