The “passenger seat” aboard Jeff Bezos’ and Blue Origin’s spaceship New Shepard has been auctioned off. The winning bid ended at $ 28 million or $ 233 million. The winner’s name is not known, but we have a certain signal on the guy (guess it’s a man).
Reporting
According to the criteria to be considered as Jeff Bezos’ and his brother Mark’s fellow travelers, the auction winner – if we disregard the fact that he is rich – is between 152.4 and 193 centimeters tall, he weighs between 49.9 and 101 kilos, he is able to climb up seven steps at the launch pad in a maximum of ninety seconds – and he must be able to hold on for ninety minutes without doing anything.
Furthermore, he should be able to withstand 5.5 G, that is, if he weighs 100 kilos and puts the bathroom weight under the stump when Bezos ignites the rocket fuse, it will after a short time and for two minutes show 300 kilos during the ascension and so much as 550 kilos during Bezos’ announced return to Earth.
Smoke on the height
The identity of the happy space tourist has not yet been announced, but given the above signal, the herd can be significantly narrowed down. The undersigned is not, I smoked at the height. Also, I think the price is stiff for an eleven minute ride.
Six people are to be stowed into the space capsule in the minutes before launch. So far we only know the names of Jeff and Mark.
