Despite the visible nerves before the launch, King traveled for an 11 -minute riding a new Shepard rocket, an experience Opra believed that “Catharic” would be.

Clothes in a coordinated blue suit, the crew enjoyed a few minutes in space before making a safe return to Earth.

Opra later reflected, “It is beyond space. It is a permeable experience of development and courage.”
