Dave Limp told CNBC that he only had one question for Jeff Bezos when he interviewed last year to become CEO of Blue Origin: Is it "a hobby or a business?"

Blue Origin is preparing to launch its NS-27 mission with the RSS Kármán Line, its new crew capsule, on Monday at 9AM ET. It will be the first launch for the capsule, which the company says in its announcement will have improved performance and reusability, along with “an updated livery, and accommodations for payloads on the booster.”

Blue Origin is scheduled to launch its second human-rated vehicle on Monday, Oct. 7, from its West Texas launch site. Blue Origin’s latest New Shepard flight, NS-27, will debut the company’s next-generation human-rated space vehicle.
