, the private space company founded by Jeff Bezos, is set to launch its next human spaceflight, mission NS-33, on Saturday – June 21. The launch is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. ET (7pm IST) from Launch Site One, the company's facility in West Texas near Van Horn. The flight will mark the 13th crewed mission for Blue Origin's

rocket, which has been used to send passengers on brief suborbital trips beyond the edge of space. To date, the program has flown 64 humans and more than 175 scientific payloads above the Kármán line, the internationally recognized boundary of space.

New Shepard flights typically last around 11 minutes. As mentioned above, the rocket carries its crew capsule past the Kármán line offering a few minutes of weightlessness and views of Earth from more than 100 kilometers above the surface. The capsule then returns to Earth under parachutes, while the booster lands separately.

Blue Origin's spaceflight history
Blue Origin launched its first crewed mission in July 2021, with Jeff Bezos himself on board. Since then, the company has conducted 12 additional human flights. New Shepard is designed for space tourism and suborbital research, making it a key part of Blue Origin's business model as competition in the space tourism industry increases.
The company is also developing the larger New Glenn rocket for future orbital missions. That rocket completed its first test flight in early 2025. More crewed New Shepard flights are expected later in 2025, as the company expands access to suborbital space tourism.

Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sanchez join list of richest married couples; Here's how prenups for wealthiest people take place
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are now married. The duo exchanged vows in a black-tie wedding on the Italian island of San Giorgio Maggiore near Venice. Jeff Bezos got married to Lauren Sanchez in Venice. The 55-year-old Emmy-winning journalist's net worth is said to be around $30 million in 2025, according to Celebrity Net Worth.(AFP, Instagram/@laurensanchezbezos) On Friday, the 61-year-old founder of Amazon and the 55-year-old Emmy-winning journalist's lavish wedding celebrations saw several celebrities, including Oprah Winfrey, Kris Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Karlie Kloss, Leonardo DiCaprio, Gayle King, Orlando Bloom, Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Usher, and Tom Brady. François-Henri Pinault, Queen Rania of Jordan, Bill Gates and his fiancée Paula Hurd, and fashion designers Tommy Hilfiger, Domenico Dolce, and Diane von Fürstenberg were among the other prominent attendees. Shortly after the wedding, Sánchez posted the first wedding photo to her Instagram handle. She and Bezos are seen holding hands and grinning in a garden while their friends watch and cheer for them. According to wealth management and family law experts who spoke to Business Insider, the couple is likely guaranteed to have a complicated prenuptial agreement. Bezos' net worth is estimated to be over $200 billion. Bezos, the founder of Amazon, wedded his first wife, MacKenzie Scott, in 1993 without a prenuptial agreement. Scott became one of the richest women in the world after receiving almost $38 billion in Amazon shares as a part of the divorce settlement.

According to her, prenuptial agreements start with both parties completely declaring their financial holdings and debts In addition to relatives, they may include anybody from tax lawyers and business associates to luxury real estate agents and aviation specialists who assist in valuing properties and private aircraft, according to Brooke Summerhill, a divorce financial adviser who mostly deals with clients who are extremely wealthy. While Paape is unaware of the specifics of Bezos' possible prenuptial agreement, he stated that his circumstances are not wholly unusual. Summerhill stated, 'Bezos will absolutely have protection against anything that he could,' and he probably won't allow his pre-marriage assets to mix with Sánchez's.

Bezos and many other business owners are concerned about protecting their companies in the case of a divorce or death. According to Paape, most of the wealthy people don't want to take the chance of granting an ex-partner enough shares to influence how the business is operated, BI reported. Sánchez would likely receive a lump sum amount, Amazon shares, and perhaps real estate in the event of a divorce, according to Summerhill and Raymond Hekmat, a Beverly Hills family law lawyer who specializes in prenuptial agreements. In the case of partner's death, the surviving spouse often obtains a lump sum amount or life insurance payout, but a final will and testament may supersede the prenuptial agreement, she added. Prenuptial agreements for the ultrawealthy have consequences that extend beyond the couple, whether it concerns who will inherit the Hamptons property or take over the family business. Notably, Sánchez has three children while Bezos and have four with Scott. What we know about Lauren Sanchez's net worth Sanchez's net worth is said to be around $30 million in 2025, according to Celebrity Net Worth. In May 2023, Bezos proposed to Sánchez by placing a stunning ring of 30 carat pink diamonds, worth somewhere between, $3 and $5 million, beneath her pillow on his $500 million superyacht Koru.

What Jeff Bezos's morning routine says about his billionaire brain
Jeff Bezos, one of the richest people in the world, is making headlines for his $20 million wedding and massive business empire. From Amazon and Blue Origin to big tech investments, his net worth and ventures continue to grow globally. So here's a shocker: Jeff Bezos—the guy who built Amazon, launched rockets with Blue Origin, and literally changed how we shop—doesn't wake up at the crack of dawn to emails or Zoom calls. No, instead, he chooses to 'putter' in the morning. There's genius behind this chill ritual. Even though Bezos naturally wakes up early, he bans screens for that precious first hour. His "no-phone rule" means no immediate dives into news, Slack, or social media—because let's face it, our phones are distractions disguised as if they matter. His rule? Not so he's unplugged, but so he starts the day with intention. His wife, Lauren Sánchez, confirmed this in PEOPLE, saying their mornings are phone-free and focused on each other—and their coffee—before the rest of the world barges in. Bezos explained it all in a 2018 speech at the Economic Club of Washington: his mornings are slow-paced. We're talking reading the newspaper, sipping coffee, cleaning up around the house—basic stuff. No emails, no schedules, no stress. The goal? Let the brain wake up gently, not get thrown into chaos right away. This isn't just billionaire wellness fluff Stanford researchers say that ditching screens for even an hour can improve memory, reduce stress, and help with learning . by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Discover Katy's Top Portable AC Undo Heat Advisory? Get Cooling FAST Undo Stay Cool Anywhere with This AC Undo Beat the Heat with This 4-in-1 AC Undo They found chronic excessive screen use can negatively impact mental health—and that a calm start supports clarity and better decision-making. Sounds a lot like Bezos's own reasoning. Bezos isn't slacking. He's optimizing. He's protecting his mental clarity and preserving willpower for the moments that matter. He deliberately designs his morning to avoid decision fatigue and digital noise, because controlling how your day begins sets the tone for how it unfolds. You don't need billions or rockets to borrow this routine. Try these simple steps: Leave your phone in another room for 30–60 minutes. Do something relaxing: read a bit, take a walk, sip coffee without checking updates. Align your toughest tasks to your natural energy peaks (for many, mid-morning). You might find you feel calmer, sharper, and more in control—just like Bezos. After all, maybe greatness isn't about grind—it's about pacing and being intentional with how you begin each day.
