24. Jeff Bezos goes to space (He's a billionaire)
Updated: Oct 2, 2021
Earlier this year, just after Richard Branson himself, Jeff bezos, the founder of the company amazon went up in his own rocket. His rocket was called New Shephard.
It looked a little like Elon musk's starship, but there is huge windows at the top
The windows on the cone shaped top are the biggest windows that have ever gone to space before. the view didn't look like this, but at least you got the view of earth. anyway, it is amazing if you watched jeff bezos either on live TV or in real life, fly up into space.
Mark Bezos, wally funk and oliver daemen were in his ship as well as Jeff Bezos himself.
Jeff went space because he wanted to prove that his model/design could actually work and achieve its goal of going to space. just if you are wondering, Jeff is a trained american astronaut and the one who paid for it all to happen
wally funk was the oldest to go to space at the age of 82 and oliver daemen was the youngest at the age of 18. Jeff was 57 and still is.
FUN FACT!: Jeff Bezos spent $5.5B dollars to be in space for 4 minutes!!!!!
there was a space race of who could get untrained tourists into space first. of course richard branson won the race but Jeff bezos went higher! he went 69,000 feet higher
The most dangerous parts of the trip are the launch and landing. How did they return to earth? I like the photo of the launch.😊
