New Shepard flew for the ninth time on July 18, 2018. During this mission, known as Mission 9 (M9), the escape motor was fired shortly after booster separation. The Crew Capsule was pushed hard by the escape test and we stressed the rocket to test that astronauts can get away from an anomaly at any time during flight. The mission was a success for both the booster and capsule. Most importantly, astronauts would have had an exhilarating ride and safe landing.

This isn’t the first time we’ve done this type of extreme testing on New Shepard. In October of 2012, we simulated a booster failure on the launch pad and had a successful escape. Then in October of 2016, we simulated a booster failure in-flight at Max Q, which is the most physically strenuous point in the flight for the rocket, and had a completely successful escape of the capsule.

This test on M9 allowed us to finally characterize escape motor performance in the near-vacuum of space and guarantee that we can safely return our astronauts in any phase of flight.

Mission 9: Safe Escape In Any Phase Of Flight New Shepard flew for the ninth time on July 18, 2018.

Also on M9, New Shepard carried science and research payloads from commercial companies, universities and space agencies.

Jeff Bezos in space with a Blue Origin rocket Tuesday, July 20, 2021, nine days after billionaire Richard Branson's space trip aboard Virgin Galactic's VSS Unity spacecraft, Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon and the richest man in the world, also surrendered, accompanied 3 other passengers, in space aboard a capsule powered by the reusable New Shepard rocket from his company Blue Origin. Take-off took place from Launch Site One, the company's launch base located in West Texas, then the capsule was dropped at an altitude of 75 km to then slightly exceed 100 km in altitude, space border according to the International Aeronautical Federation. After 3 minutes of orbital flight, for a total flight of 11 minutes, the capsule made its return to Earth, braked by three parachutes and retro rockets. The New Shepard launcher also returned to a landing pad near the launch site.
SpotMini Autonomous Navigation SpotMini autonomously navigates a specified route through an office and lab facility. Before the test, the robot is manually driven through the space so it can build a map of the space using visual data from cameras mounted on the front, back and sides of the robot. During the autonomous run, SpotMini uses data from the cameras to localize itself in the map and to detect and avoid obstacles. Once the operator presses 'GO' at the beginning of the video, the robot is on its own. Total walk time for this route is just over 6 minutes. (The QR codes visible in the video are used to measure performance, not for navigation.)
NASA and Saturn: Cassini's Grand Finale The final chapter in a remarkable mission of exploration and discovery, Cassini's Grand Finale is in many ways like a brand new mission. Twenty-two times, NASA's Cassini spacecraft will dive through the unexplored space between Saturn and its rings. What we learn from these ultra-close passes over the planet could be some of the most exciting revelations ever returned by the long-lived spacecraft. This animated video tells the story of Cassini's final, daring assignment and looks back at what the mission has accomplished.
Ryanair Extreme Heavy Landing Ryanair flight from Fuerteventura to Leeds Bradford Airport. 14/07/2017. FR1585. 15kt winds landing on Runway 32. (More head wind than side wind). Pilot was fighting to keep control of the aircraft and not too sure if he came in to quick and too high thus having to force the aircraft down into the tarmac, or if he was too slow, lost lift and resulted in the aircraft "falling" out of the sky. Difficult to say without knowing speed or height. Once on tarmac, the pilot fought to regain control of the aircraft, and we were thrown from left to right trying to straighten up. I have flown for many years, and this has had to be the first landing where I have thought the main gear was going to collapse. Frightening experience.
Dawn of a revolution in urban mobility – first manned flight with the Volocopter VC200 The premiere of manned flights with the world’s first certified Multicopter, e-Volo's Volocopter VC200, marks the beginning of a new era in urban mobility. For the first time humans’ dream of personal flight as a daily routine becomes attainable. As such it not only offers more widespread use in conventional aircraft domains, but brings us another step closer to air taxi services and entire transportation systems in the third dimension. “The flight was totally awesome” pilot Alexander Zosel said right after his landing. “I got in, we did the pre-checks for what felt like maybe 20 seconds, and after that I’d already got the all-clear for flying. I didn’t wait long, I simply pushed the lever upward and the Volocopter simply sprung upward in a single bound. It is definitely a sublime feeling to lift off, fly the first few meters, and then actually take my hand off the joystick and think that, yeah, it’s really as if I’m standing on the ground, and then I look down and there are 20-25 meters beneath me. So it’s definitely unbelievable what we’ve achieved here. It’s seriously unbelievable!”

Dissolve an effervescent tablet in space Astronauts on the International Space Station dissolved an effervescent tablet in a floating ball of water, and captured images using a camera capable of recording four times the resolution of normal high-definition cameras. The higher resolution images and higher frame rate videos can reveal more information when used on science investigations, giving researchers a valuable new tool aboard the space station. This footage is one of the first of its kind. The cameras are being evaluated for capturing science data and vehicle operations by engineers at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
Helicopter Landing On Ship In Rough Sea This video shows a landing conducted by a Prism Defence Test Pilot and Flight Test Engineer during development of Ship Helicopter Operating Limits for the Lynx Mark 90B helicopter onboard the KNUD RASMUSSEN class Offshore Patrol Vessel.
Carl Sagan explains the concept of the 4th dimension In this episode of his television program entitled Cosmos , Carl Sagan discusses the notion of the fourth dimension of space-time by drawing an analogy with another well-known scientific story: Flatland by Edwin A. Abbott.
One of the biggest computational fluid dynamics simulation made on a super computer This is one of the largest CFD simulations ever, on the world's largest GPU server, the GigaIO SuperNODE, equipped with 32x AMD Instinct MI210 64GB GPUs, for a total of 2TB of VRAM. The simulation shows the Concorde (62m long) before landing at a speed of 300km/h and an angle of attack of 10°, for 1 second in flight. The span-based Reynolds number is 146 million.
Inspiration4 space tourists open the observation dome Inspiration4 space tourists Jared Isaacman, Hayley Arceneaux, Sian Proctor and Chris Sembroski, open the cupola of the Dragon capsule for the first time allowing them to observe the Earth. SpaceX's first four space tourists landed on Saturday, September 19, 2021 in the Atlantic Ocean after spending three days in space traveling farther than the International Space Station (ISS), up to 590 km above sea level, spinning in orbit at approximately 28,000 km / h.
Starship SN9 flight and crash SpaceX has tested the ninth Starship prototype in a row. It is not yet known whether the landing accident was caused by low tank pressures than with the SN8, or something else. Led by the standing ship SN10, which in turn, did not suffer any serious damage in the explosion.

Editing in the film “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” In a scene of the film "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", by Rick Dalton (Leonardo Dicaprio) He explains how he lost the role of Steve McQueen in the audition for "The Great Escape". With the digital processing means, the added DiCaprio in a scene from "The Great Escape" 1963. Here we see a comparison of the original and a mounted stage.
