The cost to go to space with Blue Origin varies widely and is not publicly fixed. Here are the key points about pricing:

• Blue Origin requires a fully refundable deposit of $150,000 to begin the booking process for a seat on their New Shepard suborbital flights

• The first seat on Blue Origin’s inaugural crewed flight in 2021 was auctioned for $28 million, highlighting the high exclusivity and demand at the start

• Subsequent ticket prices are estimated to be much lower, generally ranging between $200,000 and $450,000 per seat, similar to competitor Virgin Galactic’s pricing

• Some passengers have flown free of charge as guests of the company, indicating that not all seats are sold commercially

• Industry experts expect Blue Origin’s suborbital flight prices to remain in the $200,000 to $500,000 range throughout the 2020s, though competition may drive prices down over time

In summary, while the initial auction price was extraordinarily high at $28 million, typical Blue Origin spaceflight tickets today likely cost between $200,000 and $450,000, with a refundable deposit of $150,000 required to start the booking process
