Welcome to SENKRECHTSTARTER! Today, I'm talking to Michi Benthaus (ESA, Mars Atmosphere/GNC) and Hans Königsmann (former SpaceX, “father of Falcon 9 & Dragon”) about their planned Blue Origin flight with New Shepard. Michi would be the first paraplegic person to cross the Kármán line (~100 km)

I'm not sure which mission they're allocated to. (Haven't actually watched the interview yet.) Obviously not NS-35 as that was a couple of hours ago (and unmanned). This list on Wikipedia doesn't currently have entries for NS-36 or any subsequent missions.

I wonder how long they've been waiting, whether they jumped the queue, how long the queue actually is, etc.. And are they paying? If not, wouldn't the paying customers get a bit annoyed?

(Haven’t actually watched the interview yet.)
