The New Shepard’s passenger capsule will detach from the booster rocket and fly briefly above the Kármán Line, aka the internationally recognized boundary of space more than 62 miles above the Earth, before descending and re-entering the Earth’s atmosphere. At the apex (aka highest point) of the flight, the passengers will experience weightlessness and be able to see the curvature of the Earth from their windows.
