Amazon boss Jeff Bezos space ship project, which is called Blue Origin has made its first test flight with their New Shepard space vehicle.
The video below shows the Blue Origin rocket make its first flight, the plans is to have a recoverable space ship, although this did not happen on the first flight.
Today we flew the first developmental test flight of our New Shepard space vehicle. Our 110,000-lbf thrust liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen BE-3 engine worked flawlessly, powering New Shepard through Mach 3 to its planned test altitude of 307,000 feet. Guidance, navigation and control was nominal throughout max Q and all of ascent. The in-space separation of the crew capsule from the propulsion module was perfect. Any astronauts on board would have had a very nice journey into space and a smooth return.
