Blue Origin will fly first crew to space in July
Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin will send its first crew to space on July 20 and is offering one of the seats to the winner of an online auction, the company said Wednesday. The trip will last a total of ten minutes, four of which passengers will spend above the Karman line that marks the recognized boundary between Earth's atmosphere and space. The reusable suborbital rocket system was named after Alan Shepard, who sixty years ago on Wednesday became the first American in space.
