“Yes, we have a textbook. But we don’t read it, we draw it. Students, majoring in this area, cannot learn by just reading the pictures on books. Instead, we learn while drawing something. In my classes, students have to draw what I am demonstrating on the chalkboard.”

New Shepard makes third trip into sub-orbit testing improved systems.

The third sucessful flight of Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket occurred Saturday, April 2, from the company’s test site in west Texas. New Shepard reached an altitude of 64.2 miles, the highest yet it has flown.

Liftoff occurred at 10:18am CDT and followed a flight plan nearly identical to the vehicle’s first two test flights in March and November 2015. The only significant change in this flight was relighting the single BE-3 engine for the landing burn. 

Reignition occurred 1.1 kilometers above the ground, opposed to the 1.5 kilometers of previous flights. This tested out more efficient landing methods to conserve fuel.

Additionally, tweaks to the Reaction Control System on the Crew Capsule were made in order to increase performance.

New Shepard is the first vehicle in history to launch from Earth, reach the van Karman line defining the boundary of space, and land successfully. It is also the world’s first reusable sub-orbit rocket.

So, THIS HAPPENED (again).

Some straight up next Generational space fairing shit
