What a Ticket on Jeff Bezos’ Rocket Will Cost You

Slate  

Jeff Bezos and three other passengers spent roughly 10 minutes Tuesday morning flying on a round trip to space in the New Shepard, a rocket ship built by the billionaire’s aerospace company Blue Origin. LIFTOFF: Jeff Bezos, Mark Bezos, Wally Funk and Oliver Daemen blast off into space https://t.co/5C820HM4EM pic.twitter.com/nmyQn0B2UE — CBS News July 20, 2021 The flight was Blue Origin’s first with people aboard. The other two passengers were Jeff Bezos’ brother Mark and Wally Funk, a renowned aviator who trained as an astronaut in the 1960s before the U.S. government canned its “women in space” program. The space tourism company Axiom is flying three people early next year to the International Space Station in SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule and will stay there for eight nights; seats are $55 million a pop.
