Blue Origin

We appreciate seeing Blue and all the companies on Forbes' Best Employers for Engineers in 2025. Engineers tackle complex challenges, especially in space exploration. We are thankful for every Blue engineer who is building a road to space for the benefit of Earth and inspiring future generations through our nonprofit Club for the Future.

Thankful for Team Blue ?? #NewShepard #NS28

A remarkable journey to space and back. #NS28

"We got to weightlessness, I immediately turned upside down and looked at the planet and then there was so much blackness. There was so much space. I didn’t expect to see so much space, and I kept saying that’s our planet! That’s our planet! It was the same feeling I got when my kids were born, and I was like, ‘That's my baby! That’s my baby!’ I had that same feeling where I’m seeing it for the first time, and it was beautiful."— Emily Calandrelli, NS-28 Astronaut

Congratulations and thank you to our astronauts and the @BlueOrigin team on another successful #NewShepard launch! This mission not only shined a light on the importance of #STEAM, but we also welcomed back two astronauts – a testament to the life-changing experience we offer to our customers. #NS28

We’ve just completed our ninth human spaceflight and the 28th flight of the #NewShepard program. The #NS28 crew included Emily Calandrelli, Sharon Hagle, Marc Hagle, Austin Litteral, James (J.D.) Russell, and Henry (Hank) Wolfond. Sharon and Marc Hagle both flew for the second time. Including today’s crew, New Shepard has now flown 47 people to space (three people have flown twice).
