Blue Origin's New Shepard launch vehicle

This reusable suborbital vehicle named after the USA's first person in space, Alan Shepard, is capable of vertical takeoff and landing. Since its uncrewed debut in 2015, New Shepard has successfully launched nearly two dozen times, and Its most recent manned flight was in August 2022 with six "space tourists." Cost? Reportedly a minimum of $200,000. Gulp.
