Jeff Bezos launches to space aboard New Shepard rocket ship

 

Billionaire Jeff Bezos has made a short journey to space, in the first crewed flight of his rocket ship, New Shepard. He was accompanied by Mark Bezos, his brother, Wally Funk, an 82-year-old pioneer of the space race, and an 18-year-old student. They travelled in a capsule with the biggest windows flown in space, offering stunning views of the Earth. On this flight was the oldest person who has been to space, Wally Funk and the youngest, student Oliver Daemen.

When the capsule touched back down after the 10-minute, 10-second flight, Jeff Bezos exclaimed: Best day ever!. New Shepard, built by Bezos’ company Blue Origin, is designed to serve the burgeoning market for space tourism.
