The fourth human flight of the New Shepard program is this one. It was previously the first to take Mark Bezos and Oliver Daemen , an 82-year old aviation pioneer, and Wally Funk, 18 years old, to space in July 2021. Funk was the oldest person to reach space. A subsequent Blue Origin flight took 90 year-old actor William Shatner, to space.
Shatner’s October 2020 flight had three other passengers.
Another celebrity who took advantage of the Blue Origin flight to space was Michale Strahan. In December 2021, Michale Strahan joined five other on a flight.
According to a news release, the launch of March 23 is scheduled for 8:30 AM CDT from Launch Site One in West Texas.
The release states that each astronaut aboard NS-20 will be carrying a postcard to Space on behalf of Club for the Future’s Blue Origin’s foundation. This program, called Postcards to Space, allows students to access space on Blue Origin rockets. The Club’s mission, it seems, is to encourage future generations to take up STEM careers for the benefit of Earth.
