‘According to Blue Origin, the mission marks the 11th human flight for New Shepherd sending passengers past the Kármán line…’ and also,
…’ the six-person crew.’
You have passengers and crew both used in description of the flight. No one called it a ‘crewed mission’. For me they can call it whatever they darn well please. I live confident I can perceive the differences.
CREW
: a group of people associated together in a common activity or by common traits or interests
***the word is also a slang term for a group of friends who hang out together
Keep breaking boundaries and ceilings ladies, enjoy the ride!
