Six more humans are preparing to launch to the edge of space on Blue Origin's NS-33 mission . According to the company, the liftoff is scheduled at 7 pm IST on June 21 from West Texas in what would be its third crew mission of 2025. As always, the New Shepard Booster will liftoff with the New Shepard spacecraft on top and take the astronauts beyond the Karman Line - the internationally recognised boundary of space 100 km above surface.

Each of the Blue Origin's crew missions have lasted no longer than 12 minutes.

You can watch the launch live on Blue Origin's website. The coverage will begin 30 minutes prior to liftoff.

The NS-33 crew has five men and one woman with a diverse background. First is Allie Kuehner, an environmentalist and adventurer; her husband Carl Kuehner, Chairman of a real estate company; philanthropist and entrepreneur Leland Larson; Italian-American entrepreneur Freddie Rescigno Jr; financial consultant Owolabi Salis and explorer Jim Sitkin.

Notably, the Kuehner's are the second married couple on a New Shepard flight after Sharon and Marc Hagle who flew for the NS-20 mission on March 31, 2022.

Blue Origin has so far launched 12 crew flights, sending 64 humans to space, in a total of 33 missions.

The most recent one was NS-32 which took off on May 31 with a crew of six space tourists. But it wasn't as popular as NS-31 mission which stirred a controversy for its star-studded crew. Pop artist Katy Perry , Jeff Bezos's fiancée Lauren Sanchez, journalist Gayle King and two scientists and a film producer took the trip on April 14, only to face criticism and trolling for their extravagant joyride to space.
