The Blue Origin New Shepherd flight, with an all-female crew, launched on April 14, 2025. From launch to return, conspiracies exploded all over the Internet with claims that the rocket was fake, the return capsule was fake, it was all staged, space isn't real, and so on. Author and model Emily Ratajkowski made it political, saying: "It just speaks to the fact that we are absolutely living in an oligarchy where there is a small group of people who are interested in going to space for the sake of getting a new lease on life while the rest of the population, most people on planet Earth, are worried about paying rent or having dinner for their kids.” And she is correct in a way, additionallu since Kalpana Chawla and Sally Ride seem to be ignored as pioneers of women in space. Rather than discussing such things, perhaps we should look at the significance of the names, dates, and symbols involved instead.Preparations for the flight were lengthy, but pre-flight would have begun on Palm Sunday, with the actual launch and return occurring on Holy Monday. As with the return of spring and resurrection of Christ on Easter Sunday, both relating to death, life, and rebirth, so too does the Blue Origin capsule and mission exemplify these characteristics - from the all female crew to the messages of unity and peace displayed from start to finish, and finally to the nature of the rocket itself, which resembles an erect penis with exaggerated head. This penis projectile penetrated the blue above with its white sperm-head load being returned to the ground below at the onset of spring. The capsule carrying the women was named New Shepherd, a moniker of Jesus Christ (“I am the good shepherd” - John 10:11) and various other deities such as Orpheus and Hermes-Mercury (guide of souls known as Good Shepherd), who held sacred The Path. These shepherds or civilizers included Quetzalcoatl, and Osiris, or the green god of Egypt. It was Osiris who presided over the Hall of Judgement in the underworld, a place where the deceased's heart was weighted against the feather (often blue) of Ma'at, goddess of truth and justice. If the heart weighed more, being heavy with desire, it was consumed by the beast Ammit, but if the feather, or soul, weighed more, then it was set free with eternal life and granted passaged to the Field of Reeds. Although such Egyptian reeds to do not grow in Texas, similar plants and reeds do, which is a critical detail because this is where the spent white (sperm) capsule returned to earth. The logo of Blue Origin is also a blue feather, which shares something in common with the former Twitter-X logo and the alternative Blue Sky butterfly logo. One of the most famous people inside the capsule was Katy Perry, who had the nickname of “feather” since childhood, something not overlooked as she wore the blue feather on her suit during the mission. As seen in her Dark Horse video and in a 2019 social media post, Perry often references Egyptian mythology, and particularly that the heart should be lighter than a feather. Symbol dictionaries will tell us that a bird represents thought, imagination, synthesis, and sublimation. In Egypt, the bird was BA - the soul. A blue bird in particular is a representation of pure ideas. Blue butterflies represent transformation and new life, i.e., spring. In Greek mythology, the butterfly famously refers to the soul or mind, hence its name psyche.Perry is also on the New Shepherd video holding both a blue butterfly in one shot and a white daisy in another shot. These flowers represent much the same thing butterflies and birds symbolize, though they have a direct connection to the Norse goddess Freya, for whom Friday (Good Friday) is named. Furthermore, in Christian symbolism, a white daisy is the flower of the Virgin Mary, which historically has been a title and a surname of magdal-elder, meaning Watchtower of the Flock, the same flock the shepherd watches over. The Irish goddess Brigid (also Brighid) presided over the festival of Imbolc, an early spring holy day celebrating the end of winter. Known as the Exalted One, she was a goddess of healing, fertility, and birth. From The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Mythology, authors Arthur Cotterell and Rachel Storm confirm this: “Brigid, sometimes known as Brigit, was a goddess of healing and fertility who was believed to assist women in labour.” Spring is, of course, when the earth is reborn. Some have pointed out that the NS-31 logo can be inverted to show not a spaceship but a goat head, which is perhaps one of the most misunderstood symbols in the western world. The goat is Capricorn, Pan, Cernunnos, and various other characters with horns and features that remind many of the Devil, largely due to the usage of goats for the relieving of sin - scapegoats (Leviticus 16:8-10). It is from the goat horns that we get the term “horny,” yet another reference to sexuality and reproduction. It is therefore no surprise that Jack Parsons, the infamous rocket engineer, invoked the name of the Greek god Pan before most rocket tests. Pan is a fertility god, and his invocation provides fertility for the test, the sexual imagery of the rocket itself, and so on. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

The Diocese of Sioux City announces the appointment of a new bishop by Pope Francis, continuing the succession of the apostles.
After the fall of Jerusalem, God chastises the unfaithful religious leaders (i.e., shepherds) of His sheep. At the hands of their gross, spiritual negligence, His people have become prey, malnourished, scattered, lost, and injured. Therefore, God promises that He Himself will be their Shepherd. He will search for His sheep and rescue them. He will gather and feed them. He will bind up and strengthen them. He will help them lie down in rich pastures. We see God's promise realized most fully in Jesus, our Good Shepherd.!

God will bring redemption through the New Shepherd.
"If not now, then when? And if you don't do it, who else will?”Those are the two questions Sara Sabry suggests all woman ask themselves when they're thinking through a big move… and finding they don't have the confidence to follow it through.And she should know. The Egyptian mechanical and biomedical engineer was the first African woman in space when she blasted off in Blue Origin's New Shepherd rocket in 2022. She's the founder of Deep Space Initiative, an organisation with the mission to make space and the study of space more accessible– and she dreams of one day being part of a community living on the moon and eventually ‘retiring on Mars'. But is space travel and research really something for Africa to invest in when there are so many other priorities?Alan Kasujja hears her thoughts.
A new shepherd-leader. Series: Ezekiel. Type: Sermon
Matthew moves his gospel account into a new section at the end of Chapter 9. As he does so, he underlines that Jesus is fulfilling God's plan to provide a New Shepherd for his people. You have an opportunity as you read Matthew to be reminded of (or introduced to) Jesus' deep compassion for people just like us. Though this reminder, before very long, issues in a challenge. Listen in.
What are the characteristics of a true leader? We see examples throughout Scripture, but they all point to the only one we are to follow: Jesus Christ.

Most of us probably do not like change. Change makes most of us uncomfortable. We like the familiar and so, when faced with a transition, we can find ourselves tense as we might feel uncertain about the change. This is completely understandable. But life is about change. Change is also a reality in local churches. One change that local churches must face is the transition to receiving a new shepherd. This can be both exciting and tense, a reality that is revealed for us in these final verses of Numbers 27.

Rob Meyerson is the former president of Blue Origin. Rob was recruited by Jeff Bezos to run the company way back in 2003 and served as president until 2018. He was critical in developing New Shepherd, the rocket which just yesterday brought Jeff Bezos and three other civilian astronauts to space. Since then he's become a full-time investor at C5 capital. In this episode, we talk about companies building transportation networks to the moon, lunar mining and 3d printing, and one of Rob's first investments, Axiom Space which is building the first private space station.

Jeff Bezos, the world's richest man, has finally achieved his childhood dream of launching himself into space. The New Shepherd launched at about 1.10am NZ time, returning to earth a total of ten minutes and ten seconds later. The launch, by Bezos' company Blue Origin, launched Bezos, his brother Mark Bezos, aviator Wally Funk and eighteen-year-old Oliver Daemen into the cosmos. After landing safely back to Earth, Jeff Bezos could be heard saying inside the capsule that it was the "best day ever". Space.com editor in chief Tariq Malik spoke to Guyon Espiner.

Today on The Leaders' Brief - The United States has begun the process of withdrawing all its troops from Afghanistan in line with President Joe Biden's campaign promise of ending forever wars. Last week, the Pentagon deployed additional warplanes to bolster the protection of American and coalition troops during the withdrawal process. Earlier this year, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken had called for urgent action in Afghanistan to prevent a "spring offensive by the Taliban" as the 14-month ceasefire window under the Doha agreement, signed in February, last year, headed towards completion. German health minister Jens Spahn said last week that the country will allow the administration of AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine to adults of all ages. The country is setting a target to start vaccinating those aged between 12 and 18 by the end of August. Legislation passed amidst protests last month allows Germany's federal government to impose night-time curfews in areas where cases exceed 100 per 100,000 residents on three consecutive days and even stricter curbs where cases go above 165 per 100,000. In a significant development for the space tourism industry, Jeff Bezos-owned Blue Origin announced last week that its space tourism rocket, New Shepard will leave for its first commercial sub-orbital journey on July 20th. The space shuttle is designed to carry six passengers and the company said that it has started accepting bids for the final seat, without revealing any price details. New Shepherd, named after Alan Shepard who was the first American in space will complete a 30-minute journey in its inaugural passenger flight.
