Default New Shepard flew today! (links)

Hello All,

Below I've attached a post-landing photograph of Blue Origin's new, large window-equipped New Shepard capsule, and:

Today in west Texas (see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSDH...eature=youtu.be ), Blue Origin flew their new-generation New Shepard vehicle into space and back (for the seventh time overall, although the first time for this particular vehicle). Both the booster and the capsule made separate, successful landings (the company's brief announcement, from www.blueorigin.com [also see: http://www.google.com/search?ei=JLg...0.HNf1 skZA8a0 ], is copied below):

Subject: Crew Capsule 2.0 First Flight

New Shepard flew again for the seventh time today from Blue Origin’s West Texas Launch Site. Known as Mission 7 (M7), the mission featured the next-generation booster and the first flight of Crew Capsule 2.0. Watch the mission highlights here [see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSDH...eature=youtu.be ].

Crew Capsule 2.0 features large windows, measuring 2.4 feet wide, 3.6 feet tall.
