The second Blue Origin suborbital flight with humans onboard will be taking place this morning at about 10:00am Eastern Time. This is is NS-18 (New Shepard #18) and will be carrying four people (Audrey Powers, Dr. Chris Boshuizen, Glen de Vries, and William Shatner) to an altitude of just over 62 miles before falling back to land on parachutes in the west Texas scrubland. The booster rocket, which is reusable, will land separately. A live video player and other recorded videos are embedded below.
