News 18  

Blue Origin founder and magnate Jeff Bezos, along with three other crew members, is set to launch for space in the spaceflight company’s New Shephard rocket at 6:30 pm on Tuesday, July 20. Hours before New Shepherd’s launch into space from West Texas, US, Bezos talked to Good Morning America about how he was feeling before his trip to space. Blue Origin’s New Shephard is a reusable rocket and will be the first spacecraft to carry an all civilian crew, as no crew members on the Blue Origin rocket are space pilots or space engineers. The space travellers included the company’s founder Richard Branson, and India-born aeronautical engineer Sirisha Bandla, who is an employee at the company.
