Jeff Bezos' space company Blue Origin successfully resumes its space tourism business, launching a six-person crew to the edge of space. Among them is Ed Dwight, the US’ first Black astronaut candidate from the 1960s, making his long-awaited journey. Dwight, aged 90 years and eight months, becomes the oldest person in space, surpassing actor William Shatner. The crew's capsule, launched from Texas, ascended over 65 miles before returning to Earth in roughly 10 minutes. Despite a parachute issue, Blue Origin deems the mission a success, marking a milestone since New Shepard's grounding in 2022
