Blue Origin's Rocket Crashed. What Does That Mean for Virgin Galactic?

Don't look now, but Blue Origin just had another "anomaly" -- and the future for investing in space tourism just got a little bit less certain. On Monday, Sept. 12, an unmanned New Shepard rocket operated by Blue Origin -- the space tourism venture established by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos -- suffered a booster failure about a minute after launch. The good news is that the rocket's escape capsule operated as designed, boosting away from the rocket core and then parachuting back down to Earth.
