Hans Königsmann (of SpaceX fame) might go up on NS-37 in November, alongside his friend Michaela Benthaus.

And now he has announced he is going to space on a future New Shepard suborbital flight alongside his friend Michaela "Michi" Benthaus as early as next month.

Or maybe it won't be launch this year

Now that the shutdown is over, I have to wonder when Blue will announce this flight.

I think NS5 and Karman Line will fly which hasn't flown since June (NS-33)

I am not sure what you are trying to say here. RSS Karman Line and Tail 5 were separated for a while. Karman Line flew back in June 29, while Tail 5 flew last on September 18, propelling RSS H.G. Wells to space for the final time. Both should be the PM and capsule of choice, but not because both last flew in June.

What I meant was that Karman Line hasn't been flying since June and NS5 was actually flying from RSS HG Wells but the translation didn't work well (I'm not from an English speaking country)

Michaela (Michi) Benthaus will become the first wheelchair user to cross the Kármán line. Her story, advocacy, and passion are evident in everything she does.
