CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- An auction for a ride into space next month alongside Jeff Bezos and his brother ended with a winning $28 million bid Saturday.

The Amazon founder's rocket company, Blue Origin, did not disclose the winner’s name following the live online auction. The identity will be revealed in a couple weeks — closer to the brief up-and-down flight from West Texas on July 20, the 52nd anniversary of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin’s moon landing.

There’s going to be a solar flare and he’s going to become a real life doctor doom.

How much more to fly with an actual astronaut who knows what they are doing?

I just couldn't do $30MM. May sound cheap, but the seats were vinyl and not alcantara.

If you kill him, does it still fall under any jurisdiction?

Does the ship count as American soil?

I read there won’t be a pilot on his flight. It’s all automated.

Fingers crossed they offshored the AI.

Think you can finish him off in just 11 minutes? If you spit it out in zero gravity it will make a mess.

Heard some moron in CBS saying we need equality in space travel. Do we need equality and representation for Tahiti vacations too? Trip to space is a luxury

I'd pay that and then hold him for ransom once we reach orbit.

How much do you think I could get for not blowing up the ship?
