Frisco's Coby Cotton, Dude Perfect co-founder rides into space on Bezos' rocket

Frisco's Coby Cotton, the co-founder of the Internet sports trick shot group Dude Perfect is now back safely on Earth after a ten-minute trip to the edge of space Thursday.

Cotton and five other passengers rode aboard Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin New Shepherd 22 which launched from Corn Ranch, the Blue Origin spaceport in Van Horn about 100 miles southeast of El Paso.

The rocket launched their rocket capsule dubbed the Titanium Feather high enough for the passengers to see the curvature of the Earth and to experience weightlessness for several minutes.

On descent, the capsule rode its massive triple parachutes to a perfect soft landing in the rugged West Texas Victorio Canyon.
