Blue Origin posts video of its rocket’s third flight

by John_A

Another day, another suborbital spaceflight for Blue Origin’s BE-3 rocket booster. The New Shepard reached an altitude of 103km during its third flight yesterday, before the capsule came home via parachute and its engine landed while restarting at about 3,600 feet above the ground. We’re still waiting for those promised bigger rockets, but you can get your weekend’s video dose of rocketry.

Video from yesterday’s flight now live: https://t.co/vBvPYpGFrQ Great view of dramatic booster deceleration.
