Branson wants to shoot himself in space with Virgin Galactic before Bezos

Billionaire Richard Branson, 70, has announced the date of the planned “Unit 22” space mission. In addition to two pilots, four passengers, including the super-rich Branson himself, will fly in the space capsule. If the start date remains on July 11, Branson will have nine days before Amazon founder Jeff Bezos (57) with this trip.

Blue Origin, Bezos’ aerospace company, announced in May a manned flight of its New Shepard rocket on July 20. Bezos, the world’s richest person, wants to take his brother and an 82-year-old former American pilot on their first space flight.
