The most notable crewmember is William Shatner, the actor who played Captain Kirk in the Star Trek TV show and movies. Along with him will be Chris Boshuizen, the co-founder of Planet Labs, Glen de Vries, an entrepreneur in the medical field, and Audrey Powers, the VP of New Shepard Mission and Flight Operations.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-watch-blue-origin-s-ns-18-launch\">How to watch Blue Origin\u2019s NS-18 launch<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current time for Wednesday\u2019s launch is set for 9:30 a.m. EDT but this could be delayed later in the day if needed. Blue Origin will offer live coverage for everyone to watch on their YouTube channel. The stream will go live 90 minutes before launch, so 8 a.m. EDT, so a very early morning (5 a.m. PT) for those on the west coast. No worries if you don\u2019t want to watch the start of the coverage, you can catch up on what is discussed on our live blog.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The stream will cover the crew\u2019s preparations, travel to the pad, and then their 10-minute flight to space and back. It\u2019s unknown if there will be a post-flight press conference as this flight does not have as large a media presence as Jeff Bezos\u2019. Last launch, the pinning ceremony for the crewmembers happened before the post-flight press conference, so we expect to see this pinning ceremony once again.<\/p>\n<p>\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-22295',\n\t\t\t\tsizes: [300, 250],\n\t\t\t\tslotPosition: 'mid_article'\n\t\t\t} );\n\t\t<\/script><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-watch-in-person\">How to watch in person<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a public highway several miles away from Blue Origin\u2019s Launch Site One, but it has been closed at the company\u2019s request in the past. While it is far and the New Shepard rocket is small, some people have been able to get good views of previous launches.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-want-to-help-support-space-explored\">Want to help support Space Explored?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shop on&nbsp;Amazon&nbsp;to support Space Explored writers<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Directly support Seth by becoming a member of their&nbsp;Patreon.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"enjoy-reading-space-explored\">Enjoy reading Space Explored?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Help others find us by following on <strong>Apple News<\/strong> and <strong>Google News<\/strong>.
