"Fulfilling a lifelong goal of becoming an astronaut, Wally Funk will go into space on July 20 as a guest of honor aboard the New Shepard, which will fly there for the first time with people on board," the company said in a statement.
She will travel with Bezos, his brother Mark, and another as-yet-unnamed person who bought a ticket at an auction for $ 28 million.
It is noted that Funk tried to become an astronaut back in the 1960s - she was the youngest graduate of the space program for women - a private project to recruit women to be sent into space.
However, she was not destined to fly into space.
Earlier it became known that Bezos will fly into space on July 20.
