Blue Origin blasted off - and landed safely - sending Jeff Bezos and its three crew members up towards space and making history for private space flight.

Jeff Bezos and the crew emerged from capsule, safely down to earth after giving a thumbs up.

He was joined by female aerospace pioneer, Wally Funk. At age 82, Ms Funk will become the oldest person to travel into space.

Blue Origin's crewed flight has been close to two decades in the making - which was all over in just over 11 minutes.
