NS-38

Final New Shepard flight before Blue Origin paused its suborbital tourism rocket. Six passengers flew above the 100 km Kármán line and returned safely; eight days later, Blue Origin suspended New Shepard for at least two years, moving staff and resources to its Blue Moon lunar lander for NASA's Artemis program.

A booked passenger withdrew through illness shortly before launch, and Laura Stiles, Blue Origin's director of New Shepard launch operations, took the seat. She was the only company employee aboard; the other five were paying customers.
