Historic Rocket on Display at EAA AirVenture
Blue Origin's rocket, which has made five successful flights demonstrating its reusability, will be one of the star attractions at this year's show
Visitors to this year's EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh will have the opportunity to go on a simulated space mission in the full scale mockup of Blue Origin's astronaut crew capsule. The New Shepard capsule’s interior is an ample 530 cubic feet, offering over 10 times the room Alan Shepard had on his Mercury flight. It seats six astronauts and is large enough for passengers in space to float freely and turn weightless somersaults. (Photo: Blue Origin)
