\"RocketWe\u2019re quite fond of outer space here at the Rocket Yard. In fact, most of us here would probably be willing to part ways with a shilling or two for an opportunity to take a ride into the cosmos.<\/p>\n

Whether we would part with a rumored $200,000\u2026 well, that might be a different story. But now, it looks like the ability to do so \u2013 if one chooses \u2013 might not be so far off.<\/p>\n

Without fanfare or promotion, Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos\u2019 Blue Origin company quietly and successfully tested in West Texas a craft that has the ability to take tourists into space<\/a>. The vehicle, named the New Shepard, lifted to an altitude of 58 miles (about four miles short of space) and the unmanned crew capsule successfully separated from the main booster rocket.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny astronauts on board would have had a very nice journey into space and a smooth return,\u201d Bezos said.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no word yet on when the next test or when manned flights will begin. But rest assured, as soon as it\u2019s announced, we will let you know so\u00a0you can begin saving up to punch your ticket.<\/p>\n
