Default Skywalker went to space yesterday.

In article , says...

Blue Origin had a successful suborbital test flight of its New Shepard
rocket with the mannequin Skywalker in the capsule. It seems that the
mannequin will soon be replaced by humans.

I think that is cool.


It's cool, but it remains to be seen how often it will fly and if Blue
can make a profit on it. I'm sure they'll just eat development costs.
