Billionaire Jeff Bezos has successful first space flight

Published 20 July 2021, 9:21 pm

Jeff Bezos, the world's richest man, soared about 107 km above the Texas desert aboard his company Blue Origin's New Shepard launch vehicle on Tuesday (July 20) and returned safely to Earth. "Best day ever," Bezos said after the space capsule touched down, kicking up a cloud of dust on the desert floor. The 57-year-old American billionaire was joined by three crewmates for a trip to the edge of space lasting about 10 minutes and 20 seconds.
