Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin is expected to send the actor William Shatner and three others to the edge of space Wednesday, the latest flight aimed at establishing the fledgling space-tourism market.
Blue Origin is conducting the flight as aviation regulators assess recent allegations made in a letter signed by a former employee that the company hasn’t always made safety a priority. The company has said it stands by its safety record and is scheduled at 10 a.m. ET Wednesday to take its latest group of private astronauts up.
