Jeff Bezos takes a tumble

Jeff Bezos, founder of Blue Origin and a billionaire, was spotted tripping in Texas while inspecting the New Shepard space capsule. The capsule had just brought back his fiancée Lauren Sanchez, pop star Katy Perry, and a few others back to Earth.

The successful launch took place on Monday morning, with the rocket carrying a group including Sanchez, Perry, Gayle King, Kerianne Flynn, Aisha Bowe from NASA, and Amanda Nguyen, a civil rights activist.

After the roughly 10-minute flight, Bezos and others were seen walking around the space capsule as it rested in the desert in Texas.

Bezos, in particular, was seen touching the capsule and looking through the windows, when he stepped into a ditch and tumbled into the dirt.

Blue Origin has also been creating a two-stage New Glenn rocket, which achieved its first launch in mid-January. 

Blue Origin has emphasized the significance of this rocket in its plans for establishing a continual human presence on the Moon, utilizing space resources, enabling versatile space travel through Blue Ring, and creating orbits around Earth.

Blue Origin and its New Glenn rocket landed a nearly $2.4 billion National Security Space Launch Phase 3 Lane 2 contract earlier in April for seven missions, adding to two other “national security launch-related” contracts it has previously received, according to a press release.
