Amazon founder and billionaire Jeff Bezos will fly in New Shepherd, Blue Origin’s first manned spacecraft, in July. The flight will also include his brother and the person who won the ongoing auction for space travel. Bezos told on Instagram that the New Shepherd spacecraft will leave on July 20. July 20 marks the anniversary of Apollo’s landing on the Moon. The spacecraft will take off from Texas. Bezos said in early February that he was stepping down as CEO of Amazon to focus more on Blue Origin.

A seat auction to go by New Shepherd ends on Saturday. 6000 people from 143 countries have participated in this auction. There is a bid of $ 28 million (about 200 million) for the winner. Proceeds from the auction will go to the Blue Origin Foundation’s Club for the Future.

Dreaming of space travel since the age of five

Now on July 20, I will complete this journey with my brother. Greatest adventures with my best friend. After this announcement of Bezos, he is also being discussed a lot in social media.
