本月中旬，"蓝色起源"号再次成功发射"新谢泼德"火箭，成功测试了可重复使用的火箭助推器和可将人类送上太空边缘并返回的太空舱系统。

In the middle of this month, blue origin successfully launched the "new Shepard" rocket again, successfully testing the reusable rocket booster and the space capsule system that can send humans to the edge of space and return.

新型谢泼德一次可搭载6人，舱内有巨大的窗户，让乘客可以欣赏到美丽的风景。在返回地球之前，有一个10分钟的零重力状态。在先前的试飞中，太空舱可以达到340000英尺（100多公里）以上的高度。

The new Shepard can carry six people at a time, and the capsule has huge windows to let passengers enjoy the beautiful scenery. Before returning to the earth, there was a 10 minute zero gravity state. In the previous test flight, the capsule could reach an altitude of more than 340000 feet (more than 100 kilometers).

蓝源发布视频后，竞争对手维珍银河的股价短期内下跌，截至记者发稿时，跌幅仍超过4%。到目前为止，维珍银河已经为大约600名乘客售出了机票，每张票价从20万美元到25万美元不等。

After blue origin released the video, rival Virgin Galactic's shares fell in the short term, still down more than 4% as of press release. So far, Virgin Galactic has sold tickets for about 600 passengers, ranging from $200000 to $250000 each.

目前，蓝源公司并未透露机票价格，但表示将于5月5日在公司网站上以表格形式向提交姓名和电子邮件的人提供更多详情。贝佐斯说，蓝色起源将价格接近其竞争对手的新谢泼德的旅行。

At present, blue origin did not disclose the ticket price, but said it would provide more details to the person who submitted his name and e-mail in the form on the company's website on May 5. Bezos has said that blue origin will price the new Shepard's travel at a price close to that of its competitors.

航天旅游业未来仍有广阔的发展空间。维珍银河此前曾表示，预计未来10年太空旅行的需求将超过供给，两家公司的发展空间足够大。

The space tourism industry still has broad development space in the future. Virgin Galactic has previously said that it is expected that the demand for space travel will exceed the supply in the next 10 years, and the development space of the two companies is large enough.
