They will also argue that it provides a zero-gravity environment, even for 60 seconds, to do scientific experimentation.

But the news last night...

Blue Origin is also working on a Starlink competitor, right?

Satellite-based and constellation-based connectivity.

Then they have a more powerful Rocket New Glenn, which is used for a wide range of commercial applications, but putting satellite deployment into low-Earth orbit.

We're about...

three minutes into this mission, we expect that the separation to happen imminently.

And then what you have is that three minute, 30 seconds, Mark Caro, those six passengers go to the Carmen line, which is the kind of recognized boundary of space where they'll get out, undo their seat belts and float around looking out of the window.

And again, some of them paid hundreds of thousands.

We don't have a specific number for the privilege of doing that.

Yeah, and some of the names might be known to many, Tim Drexler, for example, but a lot of entrepreneurial names, some of the statisticians are in there, but we've got Tim Drexler, Linda Edwards, Elaine Ferdinand, for example, among the six that are currently in that capsule.

And there was a slight delay to it.

We understand that there was sort of unknown, unauthorized personnel in the line of the rocket as to why it was pushed back that little bit on the day.

But talk us through the risks, if any, of what has become standardized practice.

Every launch that involves human payload, humans on board, is a risk.

The hold on this case, the delay, if you like, was because of unauthorized personnel on range.

But that is a very wide radius.

You have to control both the airspace and on the ground, subject to ITAR restrictions because it's a rocket at the end of the day.

The view that you're looking at is just switch, right?

So you can see those two white dots.
