Space Company lands a rocket vertically


Katie Reilly has a Time article about a rocket that stuck the landing:
Blue Origin, the private space technology company owned by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, launched and landed a rocket vertically for the second time, a feat that the company hopes will change the future of the commercial space industry.
The Washington Post, owned by Bezos, reported that the New Shepard rocket passed the boundary of space and then landed vertically on Earth for the second time in a row, becoming the first in history to do so. Two months ago, the company accomplished the same feat for the first time.
Launching and landing rockets vertically enables them to be reused, which could make space travel less expensive and less exclusive in the future.
