Blue Origin won't be launching any more space tourism missions for a while.

Jeff Bezos' aerospace company announced today (Jan. 30) that it's grounding its New Shepard suborbital vehicle for at least two years, so it can focus on sending people much farther afield.

The move allows Blue Origin to "shift resources to further accelerate development of the company's human lunar capabilities," the company wrote in a statement today. "The decision reflects Blue Origin's commitment to the nation's goal of returning to the moon and establishing a permanent, sustained lunar presence."
