Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos says it\u2019s all systems go for a live-streamed Father\u2019s Day launch of Blue Origin\u2019s reusable New Shepard suborbital spaceship, after a postponement due to a leaky O-ring seal.<\/p>\n

Blue Origin, the space venture that Bezos founded in 2000, is due to send New Shepard into space from its West Texas launch facility at 7:15 a.m. PT (10:15 a.m. ET) Sunday, Bezos said in a series of tweets. Each of the tweets included a reference to Blue Origin\u2019s motto, \u201cGradatim Ferociter\u201d (\u201cStep by step, ferociously\u201d).<\/p>\n

The test flight had originally been scheduled for today, but on Thursday, Bezos said the faulty O-ring forced a delay.<\/p>\n
