You, too, can ride on a rocket as it makes its way back to Earth, courtesy of a video shot from a camera on board a Blue Origin booster.
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is working on a reusable rocket to send shuttles to space, a move that will help reduce launch costs. His Blue Origin booster has now made three retu joueys beyond the Kármán line, the point at 100 kilometres altitude above sea level that represents the boundary between Earth's atmosphere and outer space.
On its third jouey on April 2, Blue Origin reached an altitude of 103.4 kilometres (339,138 feet) before retuing to Earth. That launch and fall was filmed by the Blue Origin team, but the booster had a sneaky surprise hidden in its vent: a camera that filmed its safe retu to Earth.
Elon Musk's rocket company SpaceX is also working on developing a reusable rocket, and has successfully landed its Falcon 9 rocket twice, once in April this year, and again earlier this month, after four failed landings.
