Blue Origin launch live build-up
Jeff Bezos has arrived to oversee Blue Origin's 31st mission and 11th human flight today. The engine is around 30 minutes away from the engine ramping up. The crew has named themselves 'the six taking up space' and range the bell (an old astronaut tradition) around 30 minutes before takeoff.
Who is crewmember 7?
There are six members in the capsule itself, but nobody from Blue Origin. Laura Styles of Blue Origin CapCom mission control, the person 'in the astronaut's ears', will be telling the crew when to buckle up and talking them through every step of the mission.
