NS-22

Coby Cotton, Mário Ferreira, Vanessa O’Brien, Clint Kelly, Sara Sabry, and Steve Young flew aboard New Shepard. In this launch, Sara Sabry and Mário Ferreira became the first Egyptian and Portuguese spaceflight participants, respectively. Coby Cotton is one of five co-founders of the Dude Perfect YouTube channel, which as of this launch has around 58 million subscribers. Coby Cotton was chosen among the Dude Perfect co-founders through a model rocket battle, which he won by reaching the highest altitude of the group. His seat was funded by MoonDAO, who selected Dude Perfect for this opportunity through an online vote. After the powered phase performed by the booster, the crew experienced roughly three minutes of weightlessness before the capsule began to reenter the atmosphere. Once in low atmosphere, the capsule deployed parachutes and landed softly in the Texas desert.
