Editing Sub-orbital spaceflight (section)

== Crewed vertically-launched suborbital flights ==

Most manned rocket flights were either [[orbital spaceflight]]s or flights of rocket-powered aircraft, which were launched horizontally. Manned vertically launched suborbital flights were before the first launch of [[New Shepard]] rare and often the result of a failure of a manned rocket for orbital spaceflight. The following list shows all manned vertically launched suborbital rocket flights.
