Blue Origin, backed by Jeff Bezos, is set to resume crewed space flights on Sunday after a near two-year pause. The NS-25 mission will launch from West Texas, with a window starting at 0830 CT (1330 GMT). The New Shepard rocket has been grounded since a 2022 mission failure, which led to a FAA investigation and 21 corrective actions, including engine redesign and organizational changes. The upcoming flight will carry six crew members, including Ed Dwight, the first Black astronaut candidate in the US. This marks a significant milestone for Blue Origin's return to space.
