Hello All,

Tomorrow (4/2), Blue Origin www.blueorigin.com will attempt to launch their twice-flown New Shepard vehicle into space for the third time (see: http://www.space.com/32451-blue-ori...ket-launch.html ). The flight will test new software for the crew capsule's reaction control system (no people will be aboard for this flight), and it will also carry two university-developed microgravity experiments. Hopefully these experiments will be the forerunners of many, many more "paying loads" (literally, payloads) that New Shepard and other reusable suborbital (and also orbital) vehicles will carry into space and back down to Earth.
