Fourth successful test to the rocket the Blue Origin

In a sign of the confidence gained by the boss of the company, Jeff Bezos-founder of the giant Amazon-it was the first test broadcast in direct by Blue Origin. The New Shepard rocket went shortly after 10:00 the morning in Texas and about 100 kilometres of altitude, separated from his capsule that will serve, in the future, to transport astronauts.

The New Shepard landed without problems, some ten minutes later.

The objective of this fourth test was to verify that the habitable capsule would be able to return to Earth without significant damage, in the event of a failure in one of its three parachute.

The test was conclusive and landing take place effectively without problems.

The reusable rockets, as tested by Blue Origin or rival SpaceX may represent a revolution for the space industry, with a strong cost reduction.
