BEZOS SUCCESSFULLY ROCKETS TO SPACE

This week, Amazon founder, Jeff Bezos, lifted off from a site in West Texas with three other people, fulfilling a key goal of his private rocket company. It was a brief jaunt – rising 60some miles into the sky above West Texas – in a spacecraft that was built by Mr. Bezos’ rocket company, Blue Origin.

The booster landed vertically, similar to the reusable Falcon 9 booster of the rival spaceflight company SpaceX. The capsule then descended until it gently set down in a puff of dust.
