Jeff Bezos returns to Earth after trip to suborbital space on Blue Origin’s Tribune News Service VAN HORN, Texas — Billionaire Jeff Bezos has long talked about his dream of millions of people living and working in space. On Tuesday, Bezos himself joined the ranks of those who have gone to space — for a few minutes, at least. The billionaire Amazon founder embarked on a journey to suborbital space along with three others aboard his company Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket and capsule system. The launch took place shortly after 6 a.m. Pacific time from the company’s launch pad located about 30 minutes north of Van Horn, Texas. It marks the first time Blue Origin has launched humans after a series of uncrewed flight tests. The capsule with Bezos, his brother Mark, aviation pioneer Wally Funk and Blue Origin’s first commercial customer Oliver Daemen aboard

landed after back on Earth about 10 minutes after liftoff, buoyed by a trio of parachutes. The craft’s autonomous flight systems were in control of the journey. The seeming arrival of the era of suborbital space tourism after years of hype has fueled public debate around the increasing commercialization of space and the role that billionaires play in the industry. A little over a week ago, British billionaire Richard Branson boarded a spaceplane built by his Virgin Galactic firm along with five others and flew to the edge of space and back, making it there ahead of Bezos, who had announced his plans earlier. Virgin Galactic plans to complete two more test flights before it begins flying paying customers to space next year. Blue Origin also plans to continue flying customers to space, though it has not announced a ticket price or additional details about commercial operations. During a livestream See Bezos on pg.3

News Bezos... Continued from pg.1 of the launch, Ariane Cornell, Blue Origin’s director of astronaut sales, encouraged interested customers to email the company. Proceeds from the auction for a spot on Tuesday’s launch went to the Club for the Future foundation, which was founded by Blue Origin and is aimed at promoting science, technology, engineering and math careers. From those proceeds, 19 nonprofit organizations were selected to receive $1-million grants. The auction ended with a winning bid of $28 million, but the ticket holder deferred the trip, citing scheduling conflicts, according to Blue Origin. They will fly on a future mission. Daemen, 18, was part of the auction process and was slated for the company’s second crewed flight, Cornell said earlier this week. After the auction winner’s scheduling conflict, the company reached out to Daemen to see if he was available to move up to an earlier flight. The company did not release how much Daemen, the son of a Dutch private equity executive, paid for his spot, or the name of the original auction winner. Cornell has said there is a robust pipeline of other interested customers. Before launch, about 100 reporters were gathered at the press site. Inns and hotels in the small town of Van Horn were sold out. news.ed@ocolly.com

OSU alumni team out of TBT in blowout fashion Ben Hutchens Staff Reporter In his junior college days Trevelin Queen said he once beat a team 114-14. It wasn’t quite that lopsided a victory Sunday in The Basketball Tournament for Queen and top-seeded Eberlein Drive, but it was still quite a large margin. Eberlein Drive defeated the Stillwater Stars, a team composed of many former Oklahoma State players, 119-67. The Stars, led on the floor by former OSU Cowboys Jeffrey Carroll, Brandon Averette and from the sideline by former Cowboy Doug Gottlieb, were hit immediately by an Eberlein Drive offensive surge. Eberlein made its first five shots of the game and didn’t look back. The Stars found themselves down 25 after the first quarter. The Stars rallied to overcome a 23-point deficit Saturday in the first round of the Wichita regional. “(Stillwater) did a great job in that previous game,” Eberlein coach Cody Toppert said. “That comeback was obviously epic, and we wanted to make sure we snuffed that out early.”

Eberlein repeatedly doused whatever small spark of a comeback the Stars could muster. Eberlein registered 18 dunks and shot nearly 70% from three. The deficit grew wider after each quarter and reached a high of 57. “We preach, ‘assault the rim,”’ Toppert said. “We want to be a paint to great team so our guys getting to the basket, assaulting the rim, getting those dunks…loosens up the rotations over there and our guys rotate (and open up) the corner three.” The Stars were led in points by Arkansas product Michael Qualls with 20. Former Cowboy Markel Brown was the Stars most efficient shooter and finished with 11 points. “(The Stars) kept fighting,” Eberlein forward Devin Robinson said. “They kept pounding away and didn’t give up and you can tell when a team gives up. I credit those guys to keep fighting…they didn’t even look at the score. I felt like it was the same game all the way through.” The Stars run in the singleelimination tournament concludes to a skilled team operating at top form. “We were just playing our game, having fun, sharing the ball and just doing our principles,” Robinson said. “If we’re just having fun (and) sharing the ball that’s going to be the outcome.” sports.ed@ocolly.com

ONLY ONE WAY TO GOD!

The same essential message was declared by the major players in the New Testament Scriptures; Jesus, Peter and Paul. Jesus told his followers to go into all the world with this good news. God has made a way so mankind could be reconciled to their maker. The plan, hidden in God for centuries, now is made manifest. It is different in that it was a salvation that came from God and not man. God had done for man what was needed, but what man could not accomplish. Only God could do this..

“...God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing (charging) their trespasses unto them...” (2Co..5:19 KJV) “You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly...God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Ro.5:6,8 NIV) God has done for us, what we could not do, and we are to tell everyone the good news. God freely offers you forgiveness and a new life. It is offered free only through this one who died for us and rose again. Jesus Christ is the way. He declared it while still on the earth, and those disciples who followed made the same claim. There is only one way; there is only one savior. Many are proclaiming different ways; they will prove false. Those who open their hearts to Christ, come to him and trust him will find that what God promises is real. Prove it for yourself!

ALTERATIONS BY APPOINTMENT

Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father(God) except through me .” (Jn.14:6 NIV) Peter said, “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12 NIV) Paul said, “ For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men...” (1 Tim.2:56 NIV)

New Look Longhorns How new coach Steve Sarkisian plans to return Texas to old stature

Chris Becker

Ben Hutchens Staff Reporter These aren’t the same Texas Longhorns. Former Texas quarterback Sam Elhinger and coach Tom Herman came to Austin together in 2017 and both left it for the NFL this summer.

Texas replaced Herman with former Alabama, USC, and Atlanta Falcons coach Steve Sarkisian. Sarkisian has worked his way up the coaching ladder all the way up from El Camino Community College and has held head coaching positions before. The challenges Sarkisian faces at Texas are different from the challenges he has faced at his other stops. Texas has had moderate success in the Big 12 the last few seasons but is held to much higher standards than that. Sarkisian is attempting to rebuild this new-era Longhorn football

team into the national championship contending powerhouse of the mid2000s. The Longhorns are returning only six projected offensive starters and seven on defense. Sarkisian said in the last six and a half months his team has hired a new coaching staff, implemented a strength and conditioning program, and created new schemes on offense, defense and special teams. “I’ve done a full rebuild before,” Sarkisian said. “This is my third time around, being a head coach. And to inherit this team coming off a 7-3 season with three

losses by a combined 13 points, is something that we’re in a little better position than most when you take over a new program.” Sarkisian isn’t dissecting what has held the Longhorns back in the past, but rather attempting to stride forward by looking at his present situation. “The point I’ve been trying to make is to focus on us and what we’re doing and not necessarily what didn’t work before, but what are we going to do to make it work this time,” Sarkisian said. sports.ed@ocolly.com
