Bio
Before his New Shepard flight, Williams had climbed six of the Seven Summits, including Mount Everest and Mount Vinson in Antarctica. Bicycle gears and Mount Everest on the NS-32 patch represented the two pursuits that shaped much of his life outside business.
Williams launched from West Texas aboard New Shepard mission NS-32 on May 31, 2025. The autonomous carried six people above the Kármán line during the program's twelfth human flight, then returned under parachutes while the reusable completed a powered landing. NS-32 remains his one completed spaceflight.
