Our first objective is developing New Shepard, a vertical take-off, vertical-landing vehicle designed to take a small number of astronauts on a sub-orbital journey into space.

On the morning of November 13, 2006, we launched and landed Goddard – a first development vehicle in the New Shepard program. The launch was both useful and fun. Many friends and family came to watch the launch and support the team.


Seems to be rather like the DC/X.

I believe truth and principle do matter. If you have to sacrifice them to get the results you want, then the results aren't worth it.

From what I read elsewhere the Goddard is just a prototype of the crew portion of Shepherd, it'll hitch a ride into orbit atop a "regular" rocket, seperate on its own power and then land on its own.
