Amazon.com's Jeff Bezos Launches Rocket Into Space From West Texas

Technology mogul Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon.com, has successfully launched a rocket into space from West Texas on Saturday. Blue Origin, the commercial rocket firm backed by Bezos, successfully launched its New Shephard rocket into space over the weekend, sending it up to 339,178 feet or 103 kilometers--just past 100km, the edge of space--and returning both parts of the rocket to its launch site.
