Another boost for space tourism as Bezos lands safely

Bezos

Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos, accompanied by the oldest and the youngest humans to ever reach space, landed safely in Texas Tuesday after a “nominal flight” provided another boost to space tourism.

Bezos, brother mark, 82-year-old Mary “Wally” Funk and 18-year old Dutch student Oliver Daeman launched aboard Blue Origin’s reusable New Shepard spacecraft on the 52nd anniversary of the first moon landing in 1969.

The billionaire described it as his “best day ever” after the journey took just over 10 minutes and crossed the Karman line, the boundary 100kms above the Earth defining the boundary between atmosphere and space.
