Amazon founder Jeff Bezos will fly on the first space flight from his rocket company Blue Origin on July 20, along with his brother. In addition to Jeff Bezos and his brother, one seat is reserved for the winning bidder of an ongoing online auction. The auction will end on June 12 and has a high bid of $2,800,000. In May, Blue Origin had announced that its first flight aboard its New Shepard rocket which is designed to carry up to six tourists per flight, would auction off one seat to the highest bidder. “Ever since I was five years old, I’ve dreamed of traveling to space. On July 20th, I will take that journey with my brother. The greatest adventure, with my best friend. #GradatimFerociter,” Bezos posted on Instagram along with a video.
