Like these we were on two years ago and last year?What a way to go! I guess that's why I enjoy cliff hanging the Colorado mountain trails.
I’d take a trip into space in a heartbeat!

On this day 60 years ago, Alan Shepard made history by becoming the first American to fly to space. In the decades since, fewer than 600 astronauts have been to space above the Kármán Line to see the borderless Earth and the thin limb of our atmosphere. They all say this experience changes them.
We named our launch vehicle after Alan Shepard to honor his historic flight. New Shepard has flown 15 successful consecutive missions to space and back above the Kármán Line through a meticulous and incremental flight program to test its multiple redundant safety systems. Now, it’s time for astronauts to climb onboard.
This seat will change how you see the world.

Me Too! How far can you shoot in space? No gravity pulling on bullet, how would it affect trajectory, rise instead of drop? No wind drift calculations. Would be fun experiment.
