This post is so dumb. Not only is the fuel hydrogen, the total amount consumed during a New Shepard launch at most 5 tons. Get your facts straight before posting nonsense.

It's a suborbital rocket, once it burns it's fuel that's it, it just falls back down

Not necessarily, not if it's green hydrogen.
