VAN HORN, Texas (KVIA) -- Blue Origin's flight today reached a new milestone. The flight is described as the company's first Lunar-G flight.

"By simulating lunar gravity, customers can accelerate their learning and technology readiness for lunar payloads at a much lower cost," official posted on X. "Previously, only centrifuges or parabolic flights could simulate the Moon's gravity for a few seconds."

NASA also posted a video of the uncrewed flight, which launched from a site near Van Horn.
