Blue Origin Launches 34th New Shepard Rocket Into Space
WEST TEXAS, USA, AUG 3 – Justin Sun's $28 million bid funded 19 space-focused nonprofits as six passengers experienced a roughly 10-minute suborbital flight with minutes of weightlessness, Blue Origin said.
- On August 3, 2025, Blue Origin’s NS-34 mission launched from Launch Site One in West Texas, marking its 14th human spaceflight and 34th mission.
- Drawing on her prior NASA microgravity experience, Emmy-winning meteorologist Deborah Martorell trained as a PoSSUM project member and NASA Solar System Ambassador.
- New Shepard flights typically last 10 to 12 minutes, crossing the 62-mile-high Kármán line with capsule separation confirmed about three minutes after liftoff.
- Proceeds from the $28 million bid benefited 19 space-focused charities, considered a philanthropic contribution by Blue Origin and distributed via the Club for the Future foundation.
- Building on New Shepard’s record, the flight raised the total number of people flown above the Kármán line to 76, from over 70 to date.
