Listen to the roar of the be3 engine. We are just about to pass through max q, maximum dynamic pressure. That was when the stresses on the vehicle are at their maximum max cube. Max q is confirmed, beautiful burn on that be3 engine, liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen as the propellants it’s a nice not just clean in terms of uh beautifully performing. But what comes out of it? It’S steam right to see to see the the the glow of the of the engine underneath the rocket just under our shoulders and to know that we’ve got a crew that is going to space it.

It just feels different doesn’t it gary. This is totally different. All right, you can follow along, of course, the speedometer in the bottom left, the altimeter in the uh middle of the screen. There so far appears to be a nominal flight. All right coming up here on mikko main engine cutoff that will be followed shortly by separation and at that point, after separation, we’re gon na let the astronauts unbuckle and take in the freedoms of zero g. There is miko main engine cut off a beautiful shot down. The new shepard rocket look at that view unreal awaiting separation. Here – and here we are, you can start to see, stand by you’re going to see the separation of the capsule from the booster itself. Oh wow, and there we go. Our astronauts have passed the carmen line at about 328 000 feet continuing their ascent. You see the two vehicles there when the speed hits zero. You know that they’ve hit apogee their maximum altitude and you hear their happen quite an experience. All my instincts are fast. Okay, have the back up. You just have to wait for it.

Our rocket went over mach 3 and now they’re coming floating back down at just about 15 or 16 miles an hour about to join us home back here in west texas. After having gone over the carbon line, the internationally recognized line of space, the world’s newest astronauts gary how you holding up friend i i’m speechless wow and those big beautiful windows, i’ve just got about a minute and a half of floating before uh. The activation of the skirt yet to for a for a soft touchdown at this point, um there are sensors on board that are detecting how high they are above the ground, multiple sensors and just six feet above the ground that that cushion of air will will puff And they will have a soft touchdown, almost like just sitting in a chair but i’m sure their adrenaline is bumping and touchdown welcome back new shepherd’s, first human crew.
