   Blue Origin, the space company owned by billionaire entrepreneur Jeff Bezos,   
   announced Friday that it is pausing flights on its New Shepard rocket program.   
   The company is doing this to focus on its lunar landing program in partnership   
   with NASA.   
       
   New Shepard has been the primary rocket for space tourism since 2021. Singer   
   Katy Perry, among others, has flown into space on it. The tourism flights will   
   be suspended for at least two years to accelerate work on a lunar lander and   
   other technologies.   
       
   In recent years, the New Shepard rocket has carried more than ninety people to   
   the edge of space, where they experienced brief periods of weightlessness.
