Blue Origin has released a new video about New Shepard's crew and you can watch it here.
Laura Shepard Churchley, the daughter of Alan Shepard, the first American to fly in space, is one of the crewmates on the mission.
"I feel like I'm following in my father's footsteps," Churchley says in the video.
"The moment that I decided I would be willing to go was here," he says, referring to when he covered Blue Origin's first crewed launch with Jeff Bezos aboard for Good Morning America earlier this year." I was completely changed by watching Jeff and Mark. It was amazing.
One of the four paying passengers, Dylan Taylor, says going to space has been a lifelong dream, while another passenger, Evan Dick, says he'd hoped to work in aerospace when he was younger.
The crew includes a father and son duo, as well as paying passengers.
When it became real, Lane went up to the family and asked who they wanted to go with, and only one person raised their hand. We were not thinking about being the first father and child so much as we were able to experience it together.
One of the first people in space to be pansexual is the person in the video. I'm now a hero. I think that the visibility that I'm providing for that community is valuable, even though I didn't really work to go space.
