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.

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.
