Blue Origin’s New Shepard represents no progress in space flight. Alan Shepard’s flight was higher. Rockets land vertically from much faster flights. Hydrogen and oxygen were a cryogenic advance in Centaur.
A tad harsh. Alan Shepard’s Redstone went in the drink. Rockets do land – and more frequently – from faster flights, but the first of those didn’t do it until a month after NS first did it. NS does not represent huge progress in manned spaceflight, but it represents some.
It represents an advance in space tourism, and is arguably safer than Branson’s effort.
