Oliver Daemen said, 'I've been dreaming about this all my life.' He’s looking forward to zero gravity, and seeing the Earth from space. Oh, and he's also making history with Wally Funk.

“ “Hi, I’m Oliver Daemen, and I will be joining Jeff Bezos, Mark Bezos and Wally Funk on the first flight of New Shepard. I am super excited to go into space and joining them on the flight.” ”

Former Amazon AMZN, -1.59% CEO and Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos is set to blast off to the edge of outer space aboard the New Shepard on Tuesday. The fully automated rocket and space capsule will carry six passengers, including Bezos, his brother — and now the son of Joes Daemen, founder and CEO of Somerset Capital Partners, a private-equity firm in Oisterwijk, Netherlands.

What’s more, he’ll be making history as the youngest person to go into space if the New Shepard rockets up an expected 62 miles above sea level on Tuesday.
