Is There A Blue Origin Rocket Launch Today? Where To Watch From Texas

More details: Found here

Update: The Launch has been scrubbed due to bad weather. A new target launch date will be announced soon.

Blue Origin is preparing to send its next group of passengers on a brief spaceflight high above Earth.

Reaching the very edge of space, the six people on board the company's New Shepard spacecraft will be treated to some stellar views and a few minutes of weightlessness after getting off the ground in West Texas. When they land, the space tourists will join an exclusive club of more than 60 others who have embarked on a similar expensive venture across 12 previous human spaceflights Blue Origin has provided.

Blue Origin, owned by billionaire Jeff Bezos, doesn't sell tickets for the public to watch a rocket launch in person. But areas around the launch site, including a town just south of it, may provide a few ideal places to catch the liftoff and spaceflight.

Here's everything to know about Blue Origin's next human spaceflight and how to potentially see it in person.

Billionaire Jeff Bezos, best known for founding Amazon, is the founder of the private space technology company Blue Origin.

Bezos himself even boarded Blue Origin's New Shepard for its maiden crewed voyage in July 2021 , which came after the spacecraft flew on 15 flight tests beginning in 2012. For nearly four years since its first crewed mission, the New Shepard spacecraft has served as a powerful symbol of Blue Origin's commercial spaceflight ambitions amid a growing space tourism industry.

In addition to sending space tourists on brief joy rides to the edge of space, Blue Origin has also increasingly sought to compete with Elon Musk's SpaceX .

Blue Origin's massive New Glenn rocket, which flew on its inaugural flight test in January 2025 from Cape Canaveral, Florida, is also being developed for future spaceflights.

At 320 feet tall, the spacecraft rivals SpaceX's 400-foot Starship in size.
