TL;DR

Blue Origin launched six space tourists aboard its New Shepard for the NS-38 mission on Jan 22, 2026, after Laura Stiles replaced Andrew Yaffe due to illness. The brief suborbital flight delivered minutes of weightlessness and views of Earth before a safe recovery, marking another milestone in the company’s space-tourism program (17th human spaceflight to date, 38th NS mission; Blue Origin has flown about 98 people to space).
