Jeff Bezos space trip today: How to watch Blue Origin rocket launch livestream

Jeff Bezos stepped down as Amazon CEO earlier this month and now he’s all set for the next journey. Last month, Bezos announced his dream to travel to the edge of space. Today, July 20, is the day when Bezos’ childhood dream will be fulfilled as he launches to space on his Blue Origin Rocket.

The world’s richest man will be flying aboard New Shepard, a suborbital capsule and rocket system developed by his own space company known as Blue Origin. This is the world’s first unpiloted flight to space with an all-civilian crew.

Accompanying Bezos will be his brother Mark Bezos, an 82-year old pilot Wally Funk, an 82-year-old pilot and an 18-year old high school graduate named Oliver Daemen. Daemen will be the first paying customer aboard New Shepard. The Blue Origin spacecraft will take Bezos and his team beyond the Karman Line, where they will experience the splendid view of the blue planet before parachuting back to Earth.

The space mission is called NS-16 and will mark the first time Blue Origin sends humans to space. With the launch of the Blue Origin spacecraft, Bezos will become the second billionaire to fly a rocket to space that he funded. First being the Virgin Galactic founder Richard Branson, who launched his company’s rocket-plane to space on July 11.

“The launch crew is ready, the vehicle is ready, the crew is ready, and the flight director is ready,” Blue Origin’s NS-16 flight director Steve Lanius said before the launch. Bezos’ journey to space will last close to around 10 minutes from takeoff to landing. The journey will kick off from Blue Origin’s facility near Van Horn, Texas, which is around two hours from El Paso.
