With his spaceship, the “New Shepard”, and three other companions, he took off with a slight delay from the desert in the west of the US state of Texas shortly after 3 p.m. The automated flight took around ten minutes. Also on board were Bezos’ brother Mark (53), the 82-year-old former US pilot Wally Funk and an 18-year-old from the Netherlands.
