And it was sort of powerful because it allowed us to see, it was almost like attending your own memorial service or something, like you could feel how loved you were in that moment. And it was really amazing.

The ascent, the floating in zero gravity, I'll tell you something very interesting. Zero gravity feels very natural. I don't know if it's because we're, you know, it's like a return to the womb. You just confirmed you're an alien, but that's... I think that's what you just said. It feels so natural to be in zero G. It was really interesting.

And then when people talk about the overview effect and seeing Earth from space, I had that feeling very powerfully. I think everyone did. You see how fragile the Earth is. If you're not an environmentalist, it will make you one. The great Jim Lovell, quote, he looked back at the Earth from space, and he said he realized, you don't go to heaven when you die, you go to heaven when you're born.

And that's the feeling that people get when they're in space. You see all this blackness, all this nothingness, and there's one gem of life. And it's earth.

I decided that, first of all, I knew the vehicle extremely well. I know the team who built it. I know the vehicle. I'm very comfortable with the escape system. We put as much effort into the escape system on that vehicle as we put into all the rest of the vehicle combined. It's one of the hardest pieces of engineering in the entire New Shepard architecture.

We have a solid rocket motor in the base of the crew capsule so that if anything goes wrong on ascent while the main rocket engine is firing, we can ignite this solid rocket motor in the base of the crew capsule and escape from the booster. It's a very challenging system to build, design, validate, test, all of these things. It is the reason that I am comfortable letting anyone go on New Shepard.

So the booster is as safe and reliable as we can make it, But we're harnessing, whenever you're talking about rocket engines, I don't care what rocket engine you're talking about, you are harnessing such vast power in such a small compact geometric space. The power density is so enormous that it is impossible to ever be sure that nothing will go wrong. And so the only way to improve safety
