During the first space trip of American company Blue Origin, a person has been selected to travel with Jeff Bezos. This person has been selected through auction. For space travel, this person has paid 28 million dollars, about 205 crore rupees. However, the name of this person has not been disclosed yet. Information about which country this person is from has not been given.
Blue Origin's website states that a single-seat passenger to travel in New Shepherd was selected through an online auction today. The winner has made a bid of $ 28 million for the journey to space. 7,600 people from 159 countries had registered in the bidding for this single seat. Blue Origin said in a social media post that the name of the winner will be announced in the coming weeks after the auction process is completed. Then the name of the fourth and final crew member will be announced.
Blue Origin's first passenger flight will take off from the launch site Texas on July 20. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos said last week that he would fly to space with his brother Mark in this first flight. Blue Origin is the company of Jeff Bezos. Jeff Bezos is going to step down as the CEO of Amazon on July 5. After him, Andy Jesse will become the CEO of Amazon.
Blue Origin had earlier said that the proceeds from the auction of a single seat on the first passenger flight would go to the company's foundation. It is a club of the future that promotes the education of mathematics and science. The total journey of this flight will be 11 minutes. During this time the flight will travel to an altitude of 100 kilometers (62 mi). Passengers of this flight will travel up to the Kerman Line. This line is known as the boundary between Earth's atmosphere and space.
Earlier, the company has said that those traveling will get a total travel experience of 4 days in space. This includes 3 days of pre-flight training. This training will be given at the company's launch site in Wayne Horn, Texas. During this training, all types of facilities including food and drink will be provided by Blue Origin.
