(KTNV) — Want to venture out in space? Well we're getting one step closer.

Jeff Bezos' aerospace company Blue Origin completed its 14th mission to space and back for the new Shepard program.

Blue origin's goal is to one day carry passengers into space.

Its new Shepard rockets are reusable.

This mission carried a six-seat crew capsule and a life-size human dummy.

The purpose of yesterday's new launch was to test new technology installed on the rocket.
