Blue Origin, the space company founded by billionaire Jeff Bezos, took another step toward launching people to the edge of space Wednesday with a suborbital test flight of its New Shepard booster and crew capsule over West Texas. The company rehearsed how passengers will board and disembark from the spacecraft before and after the flight, but officials offered no timetable on when the New Shepard might be cleared to carry humans above the atmosphere.
