BLUE ORIGIN LAUNCHES NEW SHEPARD-34 (NS-34), Aug 3, 2025, West Texas, 8:30 am ET

Blue Origin will launch its next suborbital New Shepard passenger flight, NS-34, on August 3, 2025 from its launch site in West Texas. The launch window opens at 7:30 am CENTRAL Time (8:30 am Eastern).  Blue Origin’s webcast will begin 30 minutes before liftoff.

The crew includes Justin Sun, a Chinese crypto currency billionaire who paid $28 million in an auction to fly on the first New Shepard passenger flight in 2021 with Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos, but then decided he didn’t want to go at that time. Blue Origin says he is “the Ambassador and former Permanent Representative of Grenada to the WTO, Prime Minister of Liberland, Founder of TRON, a world-leading blockchain and DAO, and Advisor to HTX, one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges.”
