Elon Musk took to X to share GIFs from the movie "Step Brothers," comparing himself and fellow billionaire Jeff Bezos to the film's two main characters after Bezos's space company, Blue Origin, successfully launched its first rocket into orbit.

The rocket, whose inaugural mission had been delayed by several years, blasted off at 2:03 am (0703 GMT) from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in the US state of Florida, a live webcast showed.

Emily Calandrelli's historic achievement as the 100th woman in space was overshadowed by online harassment and sexism.

This mission known as NS-24 will not carry a crew but rather equipment for scientific experiments, more than half of which Blue Origin has developed in conjunction with NASA.

Pete Davidson, the comedian well-known as a cast member of "Saturday Night Live," will be on the fourth manned mission to space that Blue Origin will have.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has caught flak for celebrating the third launch of Blue Origin's human spaceflight before addressing Friday's deadly Amazon warehouse collapse that killed six of his employees and left at least one injured.

NASA is being sued by Jeff Bezos and his company Blue Origin over a moon landing contract that they feel was unfairly awarded to Elon Musk's SpaceX company.
