That’s free with Prime, right? Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ commercial aeronautics company, Blue Origin, has successfully landed a rocket upright, a key step in developing reusable rockets that can deliver payloads and people into space. During the test flight, the New Shepard capsule was sent 62 miles high before falling back to earth and landing at 4 mph.
Good to know that if this drone thing doesn’t work out for Amazon, Bezos can still deliver your dog treats by booster rocket.
