Really clean launch! I think this was the first time a reusable rocket was landed with humans onboard? It must’ve fell 100k feet at the end in less than a minut

Really clean launch! I think this was the first time a reusable rocket was landed with humans onboard? It must’ve fell 100k feet at the end in less than a minute which must’ve been nuts.
- someperson 5y agoNo, Dragon and the Falcon 9 launch crew to the ISS and both are "land" (well, splashdown for Dragon). Though as far as I know, the Crew Dragon vehicle has been new every launch, with re-used Dragons being used for future missions. I don't know if this was the first flight of that particular New Shepard Crew Capsule though.

- peshooo 5y agoThe capsule with the humans separated from the rocket a little bit before they hit the 100km attitude mark. Then it landed with parachutes.
- maxnoe 5y agoThe capsule and booster seperated and the capsule landed with parachutes
- rtkwe 5y agoNo it's basically the same as the SpaceX CrewDragon flights where the capsule parachutes down and the booster lands separately except the capsule doesn't go to orbit.
