And I'm Nathan Hager.
Each morning, we're up early putting together the latest episode of Bloomberg Daybreak U.S.
Edition.
It's your daily 15-minute podcast on the latest in global news, politics, and international relations.
I don't believe I know the cause of it yet, but these holds are fairly common when we do these New Shepard launches.
They used to happen with a lot of frequency, which would be a bit frustrating for us as we were waiting for the countdown to reach zero.
So this is pretty standard.
I know that earlier this morning they had pushed back the launch because of high winds.
over the launch site, that's a pretty common reason that they will delay.
Well, this is great for them.
I mean, they have a very solid track record of launching these new Shepard vehicles, launching them to the edge of space, delivering humans and experiments safely and bringing them back down.
Like you said, this is a really interesting vehicle that has helped set the stage for their larger vehicle, New Glenn.
Which we've seen come online this year.
That was one of the big milestones in 2025 was to see New Glenn Not only launch once but they launched twice successfully and then they landed their vehicle becoming the you know the second company the second launch vehicle ever to land and have a
And now they're looking to reuse that vehicle in a similar manner to what SpaceX has been doing.
So this is a really important sort of test vehicle for them as they scale up.
And then they use New Glenn, their larger vehicle, to scale up and do more things across their lunar ambitions, their space station ambitions.
data center ambitions, and so this is a very ambitious company that all sort of started with this new Shepard vehicle.
For me, it's a very interesting launch today because it kind of demonstrates how accessible space flight has become, where it used to be reserved only for the best of us, you know, the select few who were lucky enough to sort of get selected by NASA or ESA and go through the program.
and become government astronauts, now you can, you mentioned 80 individuals across 16 flights, right?
