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 enjoy 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 is also developing advanced rocket engines and exploring opportunities in lunar landers, which could diversify its offerings and revenue streams. The company's goal is to lead in commercial space travel while contributing to advancements in aerospace technology.
