The Journey of NS-34 | Blue Origin
On August 3, 2025, Blue Origin successfully completed its 14th human spaceflight and the 34th flight for the New Shepard program. The crew included: Arvi Bahal, Gökhan Erdem, Deborah Martorell, Lionel Pitchford, J.D. Russell, and H.E. Justin Sun—the winning bidder for the first New Shepard seat in 2021. Including today’s crew, New Shepard has now flown 75 people into space, including five people who have flown twice."
The Kármán line is a conventional definition of the edge of space; it is widely but not universally accepted. The international record-keeping body Fédération aéronautique internationale (FAI) defines the Kármán line at an altitude of 100 kilometers (54 nautical miles; 62 miles; 330,000 feet) above mean sea level. The Kármán line is mainly used for legal and regulatory purposes of differentiating between aircraft and spacecraft.
“It was an honor to see so many nations represented on our flight today,” said Phil Joyce, SVP, New Shepard. “The view of our fragile planet from space has a unifying effect on all who witness it, and I am always eager to see how our astronauts use this experience for the benefit of Earth.”
