Jeff Bezos , the CEO of Amazon, announced that he will go into space with his brother on July 20.
Through a post on Instagram, Bezos announced that he will fly together with his brother Mark Bezos.
“Since I was five years old, I have dreamed of traveling into space,” posted the CEO of Blue Origin , a space exploration company, on Instagram . “On July 20 I will start that trip with my brother.”
“I want to take this flight because it is something I wanted to do all my life. It is an adventure, it is something very important to me,” Bezos said in a video posted on Instagram. “I didn’t even expect him to say he was going to be on the first flight, and then when he asked me to come with him, I was blown away,” Mark Bezos said in the same video.
This is the first human flight of Blue Origin’s New Shepard spacecraft.
“I invited my brother to come on this first flight because we are closest friends,” he added.
Blue Origin is raffling a seat on the same flight, with nearly 6,000 participants from 143 countries.
