Blue Origin’s New Shepard makes second flight

On Friday Blue Origin made history by launching and landing their New Shepard rocket a second time. This puts Jeff Bezos witha slight notch over Elon Musk and SpasceX, having used the same rocket for flight into space twice now. The big difference being that SpaceX actually uses their rockets in a commercial environment, making money with the flights. Whereas Blue Origin’s New Shepard flights are purely R&D.
