Jeff Bezos to Travel to Space Next Month After Stepping Down as Amazon CEO

an Instagram post“I want to go on this flight because it is the thing I have wanted to do all my life,” Bezos said in the video. “It is an adventure, it is a big deal to me.”

The flight will be launched by Blue Origin, the sub-orbital space travel and aerospace company owned by Bezos. The July 20 launch will be the first for New Shepard, Blue Origin’s crewed space capsule. The company is currently hosting an auction letting users bid to join Bezos on the inaugural flight, with the proceeds going to Club for the Future, which encourages investment in STEM education and careers. As of two hours after Bezos’ post, the high bid was $2.8 million.

The space flight is a hint at Bezos’ priorities after he steps down from day-to-day oversight of Amazon on July 6. Bezos will hand control of the tech, retail and media giant

Is he writing that off on his expense report ?

Before you go um may I have a few K

Maybe it's a one way trip

And he can stay his ass the fuck there. 💁🏾‍♂️

I’m jealous no lies, dreams money can buy 😂💔

I hope his rocket ship has NO bathroom that way he might understand what an Amazon employee goes through. RICHIETOTHEMOON 👎😣

its an 11 minute flight to the edge of space. let me know when he makes it to orbit. He annoys the hell out of me.

If I was in his position , I would have done the same thing honestly ...

There should be a rule: If you leave Earth, you have to ask to be let back in. No in-and-out privileges. We're pretty much at capacity.

Billionaires flying into space is as cringe worthy as celebrities talking about going into politics. 🤮

Wow the size of his narcissistic ego!
