America's first Black astronaut candidate finally goes to space 60 years later

This was Blue Origin's first passenger flight since a rocket crash nearly two years ago.

America's first Black astronaut candidate finally rocketed into space 60 years later, flying with Jeff Bezos' rocket company on Sunday.

Dwight, now 90, went through a few minutes of weightlessness with five other passengers aboard the Blue Origin capsule as it skimmed space on a roughly 10-minute flight. He called it"a life-changing experience." It was Blue Origin's first crew launch in nearly two years. The company was grounded following a 2022 accident in which the booster came crashing down but the capsule full of experiments safely parachuted to the ground. Flights resumed last December but with no one aboard. This was Blue Origin's seventh time flying space tourists.
