How to watch Jeff Bezos launch into space

Amazon and Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos and three crewmates are blasting off into space Tuesday for a 10-minute sub-orbital flight that the company hopes will be a giant leap forward for the business of commercial space travel.

It is the first launch of Blue Origin's New Shepard spacecraft to carry people aboard following a series of successful unmanned test flights. After liftoff from the company's West Texas launch site, it will rocket to an altitude more than 62 miles above the Earth, where the passengers will experience about three minutes of weightlessness and stunning views out of the largest windows ever built into a space capsule before plunging back into the lower atmosphere and parachuting down to landing. "I'm excited," Bezos said Monday in an interview with Gayle King on "CBS This Morning." "People keep asking if I'm nervous. I'm not really nervous, I'm excited. I'm curious. I want to know what we're going to learn."
