CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin rocket company has shot a capsule higher into space than it's ever done before.

The company's New Shepard rocket blasted off Wednesday on a test flight from West Texas. Once the booster separated, the capsule's escape motor fired, lifting the spacecraft to an altitude of 389,846 feet. That's 74 miles or 119 kilometers.
