New Shepard’s 23rd mission, a dedicated payloads flight, will fly 36 payloads from academia, research institutions, and students across the globe. The launch window opens at 8:30 AM CDT / 13:30 UTC from Launch Site One in West Texas.
This mission brings the total number of commercial payloads flown on the vehicle to more than 150. Two payloads will fly on the exterior of the New Shepard booster for ambient exposure to the space environment. Eighteen payloads on this flight are funded by NASA, primarily by the Flight Opportunities Program. Among the NS-23 payloads are tens of thousands of postcards from Blue Origin’s nonprofit, Club for the Future, whose Postcards to Space program enables people around the world to fly their visions to space on New Shepard.

Looks like an engine failure at T+1:00. I heard what sounded like an impact at T+03:39, about 6 seconds after the data showed booster touchdown, so if that's true, I guess that it impacted about 2 kilometres [about 1.2 miles in old units] away from the microphone.
Hard luck, B.O. I hope that your next attempt is fully successful.
Edit: Failure occurred at 1:21:48 in the live stream.
Expensive ride.
RIP
Who cares? An embarrassing project A-Z. Now trying to spin it as a dramatic success of the safety system.
BROWN TROUSERS TIME !
Meanwhile at SpaceX…
Mortal Kombat WHOOPSIEEEEE
Ouch.
Hell YEAH! I'd have loved THAT ride WAY better than the full mission.
What happened to the bottom half (the rocket)? Where did that go?
lackadaisy.
Grounded
Holy moly! That's why abort systems exist!
Congrats on a successful handling of the emergency situation!
Great abort system worked but blue origin still has nothing more then expensive theme park ride. Call me when they actually achieve orbit.
That was awesome! Good job BO. Seriously. You gained my respect. But the true test comes in the next few days as we wait to hear if you are open and honest with the public on the failure.
Space is hard; even suborbital space. Best of luck. Glad nobody was onboard.
Sorry guys 😞
"Falling with style"
I don't consider that a failure, I'd say it was a success as it was a nice display of safety systems and how well they functioned. Everything is intact (for the most part, I hope) no huge kabooms and what not
Кто полетел то?
My girlfriend is a big fan. She has a couple of these in her bedroom.
F. Better Luck next time
1:21:55… The capsule seems to be powered by old Chinese Gunpowder Fireworks….
1:26:32… Looks like the main booster needs a bit more redundancy….🙄
Should have used metric
Launch Abort should be the new ride at Disney.
HARD landing, if anyone was in there, they would be in bad shape.
Andrew Lake Senior Director Of New Shepard Safety And Mission Assurance makes a foreshadowing appearance at 38:00.
Nobody finds it odd that the booster altitude jumped from a couple hundred feet all the way up to over 300,000 feet after the "anomoly" occured…? Seems to me like the on screen data isn't real time, but it just showing what should happen over a "successful" fake launch… Nonsense. Couldn't look less real!
Engine Rich Exhaust
space is hard! good luck on your next launch and work hard to solve the problems 🙂
Well done to the commentator for keeping a cool head and explaining the situation to us, as it's likely a situation she hasn't extensively trained for.
No one cares about another carnival ride. Try doing something productive.
Awesome job love to see abort systems do their job
Huge respect for how the webcast handled the situation. Also congrats on the successful in-flight escape!
