Time-lapse video: The Falcon Heavy goes vertical again

Billionaire Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon and the surging space company Blue Origin, spoke with reporters at the 33rd Space Symposium in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

A Boeing Starliner crew capsule fired off a stand early Monday at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico on a mile-high test flight to validate the spacecraft’s emergency escape thrusters. Only two of the ship’s three main parachutes deployed on descent, but Boeing officials do not expect any impacts on the planned launch of an unpiloted Starliner demonstration mission to the International Space Station in December.

Liftoff from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station was set for 4:57 p.m. EST (2157 UTC) Sunday before the mission was scrubbed. SpaceX has not announce a new launch date or time for the mission.
