Blue Origin's New Shepard suffers anomaly during launch, capsule lands safely (space.com) 5 points by msis 3y ago ↗ HN

As I understand it, launch abort survivability is the main driver of the physical fitness requirements for these passenger flights.Obligatory XKCD: https://what-if.xkcd.com/imgs/a/116/directions.png
