According to the new FAA requirements, an applicant for the title of astronaut must fly at an altitude of 80 kilometers as a flight crew and make a certain contribution to ensuring flight safety.
On Tuesday, July 20, the New Shepard reusable spacecraft with a crew of four made a successful landing in Texas.
On board the ship were the owner of Blue Origin, the richest man in the world Jeff Bezos, his brother, 82-year-old pilot Wally Funk and 18-year-old Dutchman Oliver Daman.
Thus, Funk became the oldest person to have been in space, and Damen became the youngest.
The flight lasted about 11 minutes.
The control was carried out in automatic mode.
