New Shepard is fully autonomous, no one riding on it has to do anything.
Some of them had science experiments to do in zero g. They weren’t very involved processes, just something like pushing a plunger to activate a reaction. [Reply]

They were all able to sync their periods in the time it took to come back down. Impressive achievement. [Reply]

That's why I asked if this was what Blue Origin was going to be. It's fine if it is, but I thought they were going to try to be a company that took humanity to the cosmos. :-) [Reply]

That was kind of my suspicion given the length of the ride and the shrieking coming down. If there had been an actual pilot on board, they would likely have steered the capsule into a mountain to make the screaming stop. [Reply]
I was at the amusement park today I couldn't believe the all women crew that rode the park signature roller coaster. They all got in line, they all got into the ride with the help of an attendant, they converted oxygen into carbon dioxide, listened to the attendance directions for a safe ride, and rode the ride. It's an amazing day for women everywhere. [Reply]

Not a"boomer" but loves the fact someone can stereo type another person because they don't agree with you and still claim moral suporiorty. Is it hard to be a hypocrite or does it come natural?
