Amazon founder joins first space tourism trip

The founder of the giant "Amazon" group "Amazon" and the space company "Blue Origin" satellite, Jeff Bezos, will be on the first tourist trip to space, with his brother Mark and a third person who is the winner of a ticket offered for sale at an auction.

"Since I was five, I've been dreaming of space travel. On July 20, I'm going to take this trip with my brother. It's the biggest adventure with my best friend," the billionaire wrote on his Instagram account, along with a thoughtful video clip.

In the video of the two brothers embracing, Mark said: "I didn't even expect him to say he'd be on the first flight."

And the space tourism company Blue Origin will send for the first time a human mission in a rocket on July 20, in a flight that lasts a few minutes.

One of the flight seats was sold at an auction open to the general public.

On the day of take-off, the missile will launch vertically, and the capsule will separate from it at an altitude of about 75 km, and will continue to climb to a height of more than 100 km.

Passengers will be able to float in zero gravity for a few minutes and observe the curvature of space.

Meanwhile, the missile returns downward and also lands vertically on a runway.

The capsule then begins a free-fall process to return to Earth, and will be slowed down by three large parachutes and ballistic missiles before landing in a desert in West Texas.
