According to a BBC article , Blue Origin, the aerospace company launched by Amazon.com's founder Jeff Bezos, has released images of its spacecraft, which launched in November. The launch was viewed only by intimates of Bezos and his project but was captured on camera.

"A video of the cone-shaped Goddard vehicle shows it climbing to about 85m (285ft) before returning back to Earth."

The article states that Bezos says he's actively trying to reduce the costs associated with space travel.
