The first Kiwi has made it to space.
Christchurch entrepreneur Mark Rocket has made history as the first New Zealander in space abroad a Blue Origin mission in West Texas.
With a New Zealand flag in hand, Rocket and five others reached 105km, experiencing zero gravity during the 11-minute sub-orbital flight run by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' space tourism company.
Mark Rocket told Mike Hosking it was an incredible and emotional experience that he would certainly repeat.
He says some highlights were doing flips mid-air and seeing the true darkness of space.
