Six more people are preparing to fly on a Blue Origin rocket to the edge of space, and Jeff Bezos' spaceflight company is providing a livestream.

Blue Origin's first-ever crewed spaceflight took place on July 20, 2021, the 52nd anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. Bezos himself flew on that mission, along with his brother Jeff, aviation pioneer Wally Funk and Dutch student Oliver Daemen.

However, NASA, with the backing of key congressional leaders, has held an iron grip on having its own heavy-lift launcher and crew capsule to ferry astronauts between Earth and destinations beyond low-Earth orbit. Now, these vehicles —the Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft—may be canceled if Congress agrees with Trump's proposed NASA budget.
