Blue Origin simulates lunar gravity Jeff Bezos' rocket company gave NASA a brief taste of the moon's gravity Tuesday, without straying too far from home. Blue Origin launched the 29 lunar ...

Notably, Mission NS-29 simulated lunar gravity — an apparent first for a suborbital flight — with 29 of the rocket’s 30 payloads designed to test lunar-related technologies.

At the time, she said the first such flight was planned for some time in 2022. The capability could be used for other partial gravity levels beyond lunar gravity, Limp said in his post.

That lunar gravity period should last about two minutes in all, Blue Origin officials have said. What if Blue Origin can't launch the NS-29 New Shepard launch?
