Blue Origin launched its 13th crewed mission to the edge of space on Sunday morning, sending six civilian astronauts, including a married couple, past the Karman line and back in a little over 10 minutes.

The private space program’s reusable New Shepard booster rocket ignited and cleared the launch pad tower in the West Texas desert and took about three-and-a-half minutes to travel the 62 miles to the Karman Line, the internationally recognized boundary of space.

The trip — dubbed NS-33 for the 33rd New Shepard mission — was originally planned for June 21 but had to be scrubbed twice due to the weather, Blue Origin officials said.
