Amazon founder Jeff Bezos space firm Blue Origin on Saturday launched Crew-3 flight to a 11-minute ride to suborbital space and back, after clearance from the US Federal Aviation Administration over the companys safety culture.

The FAA said Friday it's clipping its astronaut wings because too many people are now launching into space.

Laura Shepard Churchley, 74, who was a schoolgirl when her father first streaked into space, was one of six passengers buckled into the cabin of Blue Origin's New Shepard spacecraft as it lifted off from a launch site outside the west Texas town of Van Horn.
