Blue Origin Halts New Shepard Space Tourism for at Least Two Years
Blue Origin has announced a temporary halt to flights of its New Shepard spacecraft, pausing its suborbital space tourism business for at least two years. The company says the decision will free resources to accelerate development of its Blue Moon lunar lander for NASA’s Artemis programme, including robotic tests and a planned crewed Moon landing later this decade as part of a broader shift toward deep-space exploration and infrastructure development.
