    Blue Origin has started the livestream for its next crewed launch.

    Live coverage should be starting soon for the 25th launch of New Shepard, which hasn’t taken humans aboard in about two years after a booster malfunction on an uncrewed mission paused its space tourism launches in September 2022.

    Blue Origin’s rocket is vertical on the launch pad and the company now targeting 9:52AM ET for launch.

    OpenAI CEO Sam Altman on the company’s employee NDAs.

    Vox reported yesterday, following two high-profile departures, that OpenAI’s exit terms include revoking employees’ vested equity in the company if they ever disparage it or acknowledge the terms exist. OpenAI told the outlet it hadn’t revoked equity before, and wouldn’t in the future.

    Those terms were real and “should never have been,” Altman posted today, adding that he’s “genuinely embarrassed” by them.
