Jeff Bezos takes a tumble while circling Blue Origin capsule carrying fiancée: Watch
Blue Origin founder and billionaire Jeff Bezos was seen taking a tumble in Texas as he walked around the New Shepard space capsule after it returned his fiancée Lauren Sanchez, pop star Katy Perry and others to Earth on Monday.
The Blue Origin rocket blasted off into space Monday morning while carrying Sanchez, Perry, television host Gayle King, film producer Kerianne Flynn, NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe and civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen.
After the roughly 10-minute flight, Bezos and others were seen walking around the space capsule as it rested in the desert in Texas.
Bezos, in particular, was seen touching the capsule and looking through the windows, when he stepped into a ditch and tumbled into the dirt.

The Amazon mogul quickly got back to his feet and continued to the door of the pod, where he eventually greeted Sanchez with a hug and a kiss.
The New Shepard rocket, which launched from Blue Origin’s Launch Site One in Texas, is a “fully reusable, suborbital rocket system,” Blue Origin says on its website.

During Monday’s flight, the six astronauts traveled above the Karman Line in a capsule and had a brief period of weightlessness before returning to Earth.
The Karman Line, located 62 miles above Earth, demarcates the edge of space.
Prior to the launch, the company had conducted 10 human flights with New Shepard since 2021, with its 10th occurring in late February. Its Blue Shepard program has 30 flights total under its belt, according to Blue Origin.

Blue Origin has also been creating a two-stage New Glenn rocket, which achieved its first launch in mid-January.
The company has described the rocket as crucial to its “efforts to establish sustained human presence on the Moon, harness in-space resources, provide multi-mission, multi-orbit mobility through Blue Ring, and establish destinations in low Earth orbit.”
Blue Origin and its New Glenn rocket landed a nearly $2.4 billion National Security Space Launch Phase 3 Lane 2 contract earlier in April for seven missions, adding to two other “national security launch-related” contracts it has previously received, according to a press release.

Jurors deliberating the fate of the man accused of starting the Palisades Fire, one of the most destructive wildfires in California’s history, failed to reach a verdict Thursday afternoon, telling the judge they were deadlocked.
A spokesperson from the United States Attorney’s Office told KTLA that jurors will continue to deliberate until they reach a verdict or give up.
Jonathan Rinderknecht, 30, a former Uber driver and one-time Pacific Palisades resident, is accused of starting the Lachman Fire on New Year’s Eve. The fire continued to smolder underground for about a week, even after Los Angeles firefighters believed it had been extinguished.
Flames reignited on Jan. 7, erupting into the deadly Palisades Fire that killed 12 people and destroyed thousands of homes in the upscale community, authorities said.

Prosecutors argued that Rinderknecht deliberately set the fire, claiming he had grown increasingly resentful of wealthy residents and viewed Pacific Palisades as a symbol of that frustration.
“Their case, though circumstantial, is strong,” KTLA legal analyst Alison Triessl said. “The defense is relying on, can they (prosecutors) show beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Rinderknecht actually started this fire and it wasn’t the result of fireworks or some intervening cause.”
The defense argued there is no direct physical evidence tying Rinderknecht to the fire and said the prosecution’s case relies entirely on circumstantial evidence. Rinderknecht did not testify during the trial.
Defense attorney Steve Haney spoke outside the courthouse Wednesday about why he believes it will be difficult for prosecutors to prove how the fire started.
“The lack of scene preservation. The fact that they got there after a lot of the evidence was missing. Not a lot of direct evidence. This is a circumstantial case, which is always difficult as a prosecutor to prove,” Haney said.
Rinderknecht, who was arrested and indicted last October, faces up to 45 years in prison if found guilty of three arson counts, including destruction of property by means of fire, arson affecting property used in interstate commerce and timber set afire.
