Blue Origin focuses on making space travel accessible through suborbital space tourism. The company offers unique experiences where passengers can travel to the edge of space aboard its reusable rocket, New Shepard. This rocket takes passengers on an 11-minute journey, allowing them to experience several minutes of weightlessness and stunning views of Earth from over 100 kilometers above. Blue Origin generates revenue by selling premium tickets for these flights, targeting affluent individuals and space enthusiasts. Unlike many competitors, Blue Origin not only provides space tourism but is also developing advanced rocket engines and technologies for potential sales to other aerospace companies and government agencies. The company's goal is to lead in the commercial spaceflight market while expanding into lunar landers and other space exploration technologies.
