Blue Origin Gone One Step Forward on the reusable rocket race. Private space firm Blue Origin that owned by Jeff Bezos has just landed their space rocket without any accident.

New Shepard space rocket, consist a BE-3 rocket and a capsule for crew, rocket launched to the edge of 100.5 km ( 63 miles ), then the rocket and capsule separated from each other, capsule itself touched on the earth safely, but important accomplished here is not the return the capsule safely, the reason this launch is a huge success is the BE-3 rocket made a controlled vertical landing. SpaceX has its own reusable really rocket, but Elon Musk’s company hasn’t done a successful landing like BE-3.

BE-3 did a history on commercial space travel, an important milestone, check the video and see how the rocket makes a smooth landing after falling down fast, years of work has been spending for this landing. We are proud of those people who makes this landing possible, their work will allow the humanity to explore space, thanks to them we are one step closer to the Star Trek universe, will be no Spark but better than nothing.
