Amazon founder Jeff Bezos` private space travel corporation Blue Origin successfully launched its reusable rocket space and then landed it back safely on Earth.
The `New Shepherd` spacecraft is designed to fly human passengers to suborbital space in the not so distant future. It passed its first test by successfully flying to space, reaching its planned altitude of 329,839 feet (100.5 kilometers), and then performing a vertical landing under rocket power back onto the launch site in Van Horn, West Texas on November 24, 2015.
