Blue Origins vs. Virgin Galactic may soon be the main event of future space tourism offers, as the New Shepard has debuted with a successful mission to orbit earlier today. The spacecraft can now line up next to Virgin s Unity-22 which launched with RIchard Branson earlier this month, alongside Elon Musk s SpaceX, and ULA.
Jeff Bezos first spaceflight was a dream come true for the Amazon founder and was made possible by his space company, Blue Origin, which only had the FAA s approval for its mission more than a week from its flight.

据外媒报道，
布兰森的飞行在周日安全发射，并在不久后着陆，虽然可能已经领先于贝索斯，但批评者对它是否真的领先泼了冷水。维珍银河公司的VSS Unity达到了53.5英里的高度，足以让布兰森和机上的其他人获得零重力体验。
然而，反对者指出，根据各种定义，这并不是真正的“太空”。相比之下，蓝色起源的New Shepard计划通过所谓的卡门线（Kármán line）。这被大部分认可为外太空与地球大气层的界线的分界线，这是太空开始的定义之一。
因此，随着FAA批准蓝色起源的发射，贝索斯至少会有一些高度上的保证。当然，由于地球大气层停止和太空真正开始的地方没有单一的标记，即使New Shepard任务也不一定会被视为真正的太空飞行。
为此，一家公司可能需要真正进入轨道，而这仍然是维珍银河公司和蓝色起源公司所无法做到的。2021年晚些时
