Carl Kuehner became Blue Origin's astronaut number 70, which based on prior precedent, was determined by the seat on board the New Shepard capsule that he assigned for the flight. He also became the 750th person in history to reach space, as recorded by the Association of Space Explorers' Registry of Space Travelers.

Blue Origin's New Shepard successfully launched six people on a short trip into space and returned them back to Earth on Sunday morning.
