This week, a private spaceflight company did something extraordinary. Blue Origin, an aerospace company founded by Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, sent a rocket up to the lower reaches of space and then landed it back on Earth in the upright position. Nailed it!
The landing is a big step toward rockets that spaceflight companies can reuse, instead of just letting them fall into the ocean. That could translate into savings for companies who do business in space, as well as the rest of us who hope to make it out there someday.
