Blue Origin’s 12th Human Flight Brings Total To 64 In Space

Blue Origin successfully completed on May 31, 2025, its 32nd overall flight of the New Shepard rocket with a crew of six  on board, bringing the total number of people it has taken to space to 64 including four who have flown twice. Crews have come from many walks of life such as scientific researchers, educators, physicians, explorers, and entrepreneurs.

The crew of NS-32 included: STEM teacher Aymette Medina Jorge, radiologist and explorer Dr. Gretchen Green, former Panamanian ambassador to the U.S. Jaime Alemán, businessman, Jesse Williams, aerospace executive Mark Rocket, and entrepreneur Paul Jeris.

Phil Joyce, Senior Vice President of New Shepard said, “We thank our customers for trusting us to give them the opportunity to appreciate Earth’s fragility from above, an experience that truly transforms those who embark on it. We look forward to seeing what our remarkable crew will do with this experience. I am proud of our team’s dedication in making these moments possible.”

New Shepard is named for Alan Shepard, one of the Original Seven NASA astronauts selected for the Project Mercury program. It is Blue Origin’s fully reusable, autonomous suborbital rocket that has carried both humans and scientific cargoes into space. The rocket is powered by a single BE-3PM engine that burns a combination of liquid hydrogen and oxygen. The only byproduct of the combustion is water vapor.
