Cotton\u2019s flight Thursday morning reached a peak altitude of 350,866 feet and reached the speed of 2,239 miles per hour. Just like the rockets launched by Dude Perfect, New Shepard\u2019s crew capsule descended using parachutes, touching down 10 minutes and 20 seconds past liftoff. However, New Shepard\u2019s booster relit its engine to propulsively land itself, similar to how SpaceX lands its Falcon 9 booster, although from a much lower altitude and speed than SpaceX.<\/p>\n<p><ins data-ad-format=\"auto\" class=\"adsbygoogle adsbygoogle-noablate\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7125080057269629\" data-adsbygoogle-status=\"done\" style=\"display: block; margin: auto; background-color: transparent; height: 280px;\"><\/ins>\t<span class=\"outbrain-ad-label\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<script type=\"text\/plain\">\n\t\t\twindow.adSlotsConfig = window.adSlotsConfig || [];<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tadSlotsConfig.push( {\n\t\t\t\tslotID: '\/1049447\/Outbrain',\n\t\t\t\tslotName: 'div-gpt-ad-outbrain-ad-32014',\n\t\t\t\tsizes: [300, 250],\n\t\t\t\tslotPosition: 'mid_article'\n\t\t\t} );\n\t\t<\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MoonDAO is a cryptocurrency company whose goal is to \u201cdecentralize space.\u201d Your guess as to what that means is as good as ours, but they intended to fund a space program through the use of its coin called $MOONEY. Eventually, MoonDAO wishes to build a colony on the Moon. It\u2019s unclear how MoonDAO is being funded. You can buy its coin. However, they urge you not to, but to instead work with them and receive coins as compensation. It\u2019s a very mysterious and interesting group indeed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NS-22 marked Blue Origin\u2019s sixth crewed flight of the New Shepard launch vehicle. The rocket is a small suborbital vehicle designed for those who can afford the ticket price who want to experience a trip to the boundary of space. Blue Origin has been competing with Virgin Galactic in this space and pulled ahead as Virgin Galactic has yet to fly paying customers. However, Galactic\u2019s founder, Richard Branson, beat Blue Origin\u2019s founder, Jeff Bezos, to ride their respective product last year.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"post-youtube-video-2\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/F-UgZLcxV24?version=3&amp;rel=0&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en-US&amp;autohide=2&amp;wmode=transparent&amp;enablejsapi=1\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/F-UgZLcxV24?version=3&amp;rel=0&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en-US&amp;autohide=2&amp;wmode=transparent&amp;enablejsapi=1\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liftoff of Blue Origin\u2019s NS-22 took place at 8:56 a.m. CDT and carried six crew members.
