Nobody will be giving out any medals now that Blue Origin’s eleventh crewed space flight is in the books. The brief suborbital sojourn lifted off this morning, April 14, at 8:30 a.m. CDT and landed just 11 minutes later. There was certainly news coverage but not the kind of global audience that has attended other crewed space launches.

00:00Liftoff.
00:02Blue Shepard has cleared the tower.
00:06Oprah watching her best friend go to space.
00:16And all three parachutes reefing, and they like the sporty perception. There it is.
00:30Go see your babies.
00:36Where are my babies?
00:38Go over here, go see them.
00:40We have to go there, okay.
00:46Katie!
00:50I feel super connected to love.
00:54So connected to love.
00:56This experience has shown me you never know how much love is inside of you.
01:02Like how much love you have to give.
01:04And how loved you are until the day you launch.
01:10Amazing!
01:12Woo!
01:14Woo!

01:50Let me just appreciate the ground for just a second.

02:00and the kindness, and what it takes to do what we did,
02:04all the people that it took to get us up there and get us back safely,
02:07I'll never, ever, ever forget it.
02:09But the best part was when we got back in our seats after Zero G's,
02:13Katie sang, What a Wonderful World.
02:15She did?
02:16Isn't that nice?
02:17Oh, come on.
02:18She sang, What a Wonderful World.
