Watch live above as Blue Origin targets Thursday, Aug. 4, for the launch of six New Shepard customers from its launch and landing facility in West Texas.

The flight includes Steve Young, an Indialantic resident and Eau Gallie restaurateur. Liftoff of the company's 22nd New Shepard flight, known as NS-22, is set for 9:57 a.m. EDT.

New Shepard flights usually include about 11 minutes of flight time for customers. Prices for seats aren't public, but some have paid well into the millions for their chance at suborbital flight.
