It’s hardly an exaggeration to say that Blue Origin had a banner year in 2021 — the company flew people to space for the first time using its reusable New Shepard launch vehicle. The company has now sent up passengers (including Amazon and Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos, and Captain James T. Kirk) on two separate launches, and it has another planned for next week.
A lot of hard work and preparation has gone into making Blue Origin effectively the first private spaceflight company offering regular service to paying customers. But one of the more interesting and novel aspects of the business has to be actually selling the expensive tickets for the spectacular suborbital views that a ride on New Shepard provides. That’s why we’re excited to be hosting Blue Origin’s Senior Director of Astronaut & Orbital Sales Ariane Cornell at the all-virtual TechCrunch Sessions: Space this December 14-15.
