Oliver Daemen is set to take off on the Blue Origin flight next week.
An 18-year-old who has landed a spot on Jeff Bezos’ upcoming flight to space is set to become the youngest person to go into orbit, spaceflight company Blue Origin announced Thursday. Oliver Daemen, who graduated from high school last year, secured a spot on the New Shepard ship’s July 20 trip after the person who won the spot in an auction had a scheduling conflict. In addition to being the youngest person in space, Daemen will also be Blue Origin’s first paying customer, marking the Bezos-funded company’s first foray into commercial space travel. “This marks the beginning of commercial operations for New Shepard, and Oliver represents a new generation of people who will help us build a road to space,” Blue Origin CEO Bob Smith said in his announcement.
