Amazon Jef Bezos officers recently traveled into space, all flights lasted about 11 minutes.
He, together with his brother Mark Bezos and the $ 28 million seat described by Oliver Daemen was a member of the crew who did not have a spaceflight experience and went for the first time.
Apart from Veteran Wally Funk, the other three do not have training for spaceflight.
But it changed before the Rocket Space Shepard just departed on July 20 because all of them underwent a two-day training hours just before the takeoff date to comply with the Federal flight administration regulation (FAA).
This was revealed by Director of the Blue Lead flight from Steve Lanius at a press conference.
This training includes lessons on how to use space capsules (brought by new shepard rocket) for nominal, off-nominal and emergency procedures.
They are also trained to be able to take action in the case they experience some common problems such as fire and get out of the spacecraft quickly on the pad.
How to use a mask in an emergency is also part of the training.
Training, according to Lanius, peaked in mission training that came with five different scenarios, followed by the final exam.
After that, those who passed the test (everyone, actually) got the final approval for SpaceFlight on July 19, the day before taking off.
Tourism space can be seen as a super-rich domain, but the trip by Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos certainly took him to the mainstream attention.
A luxury spacing company called Space perspective even offers chairs on space capsules that will be borne by giant balloons slowly.
The whole trip will last around six hours.
Regardless of money (each seats valuable US $ 125,000), the other problem is that the booking is available for capsules in space only in 2025, because they have been made up to 2024.
