Washington: Crewed Maegen Blue flight from Tuesday involving four people who will cross the Karman line, which separates the atmosphere of the earth from outer space, for the first time.
The following is a short view in the astronaut quartet that will soon become.
Jeff Bezos, 57, will leave the planet where he made his wide wealth for several minutes on the spaceship built by the company he was founded in 2000, when he was only a single digit billionaire.
Six years before that, he started a small online bookstore called Amazon.com from his garage.
Bezos’s net wealth is currently estimated at more than $ 200 billion.
Jeff Bezos was invited along his brother, a financier who directed the Bezos Family Foundation and worked as a voluntary firefighter.
The couple is a good friend, and Jeff shares when he surprises his brothers, six years old, by asking him to join the mission in the video that became viral on Instagram last month.
In 82, a barrier woman who violated Wally Funk pilots would be the oldest astronaut ever, fulfilling a lifelong dream foiled by the initial space sexism.
Funk, who took his first flight lesson nine, excelled in the Mercury 13 project which was intended to train women for space using the same standard as men’s astronauts, but the program was finally nixed.
He still has a powerful career in flights, becoming the first female air safety researcher for the National Transportation Safety Board, and served as the main pilot in several flight schools.
Oliver Daemen, 18, is set to become the youngest astronaut.
He holds a private pilot license and is a fan of space that will study physics at this autumn university.
Dutch teenagers fly to replace the winners who are still anonymously from a $ 28 million public auction, who ask to graduate this time because of “conflict scheduling,” and will go on the journey later.
Daemen tickets paid by his father, CEO of private equity companies, CNBC reported.
