Blue Origin founder and billionaire Jeff Bezos were seen falling in Texas as they roamed the new Shepherd space capsule after returning their fiancé Lauren Sanchez, pop star Katy Perry and others to Earth on Monday.
Blue Origin’s rocket blew into space Monday morning, carrying Sanchez, Perry, television host Gail King, film producer Kerian Neuflin, NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bou and civil rights activist Amanda Ngguyen.
After a roughly 10-minute flight, Bezos and others were seen walking around the space capsule while resting in the Texas desert.
Bezos was particularly seen as he touched the capsule, passed through the window, stepped into the groove and fell into the dirt.

The Amazon mogul quickly recovered and continued to the pod door, where he eventually greeted Sanchez with a hug and kiss.
The new Shepard Rocket, launched from Texas’ Blue Origin launch site, is a “completely reusable suborbital rocket system,” Blue Origin says on its website.

During the flight on Monday, the six astronauts traveled over the Kalman line in capsules and spent a short time before returning to Earth.
Located 62 miles above Earth, the Kalman Line distinguishes the edges of the universe.
Before its release, the company had been running 10 human flights at New Shepherd since 2021, but the 10th occurred in late February. According to Blue Origin, the Blue Shepard program has a total of 30 flights under its belt.
