Jeff Bezos' space company Blue Origin launched another version of his New Shepard mission Thursday 14 January 2020 in the remote west Texas landscape.
Mission NS-14 took a little more than 10 minutes to complete and sent the crew capsule more than 350,000 feet into the air.
The mission tested safety and communications systems ahead of the company's plans to send crews into space. The spacecraft has two parts: the capsule and a booster. The capsule is designed to carry humans on missions sometime in the future.
The capsule features six seats, which will include a test dummy known as Mannequin Skywalker, according to NASA Spaceflight.
