Nayagarh,(Baghuabarta): History is created in space today. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ company Blue Origin’s tourism rocket New Shepherd flew into space with four people at 6:30 pm this evening and returned to Earth shortly after. The trip included Jeff Bezos, his brother Mark, 18-year-old Oliver Demon of the Netherlands, and Wally Funk, a 82-year-old woman in the aviation industry. The five-story high-sheared rocket is designed to carry up to six people into space. The rocket is capable of carrying passengers at an altitude of about 340,000 feet. Those who want to get into it can feel weightless in microgravity for a few minutes. The people sitting in it can also see the earth from a very high altitude. The New Shepherd Rocket and Capsule is named after Alan Shepherd, an astronomer. Alan Shepherd was the first American to reach space. It can seat up to six passengers, but on Tuesday evening, four passengers boarded it. It has no pilots and it is fully automated. It is controlled by a master control center built on the surface. There is no need to give any instructions after launch.
