Jeff Bezos announced that he will be flying to space alongside his younger brother, Mark Bezos, on the first manned flight of the New Shepard, the rocket built by the Amazon billionaire's space company, Blue Origin.


quote:

The New Shepard will launch from Van Horn, Texas, on July 20 - 15 days after Bezos resigns as the CEO of Amazon. After about a 30-minute flight, the rocket's passengers will be able to unbuckle themselves from their seats and float freely for three minutes before the New Shepard descends back to Earth.

Admittedly, launching yourself into space and knowing it'll gain a ton of attention because a not-insignificant portion of the public hopes for a mishap is a solid way of gaining ground on Elon

I bet the launch gets "scratched" at the last moment. Maybe just a publicity stunt. Who in their right mind would be the ginny pig. Oh yea, the richest man on the planet.

Let's be honest. How many of us would love the opportunity to launch our bosses to space on some of our company's questionable products?
