Jeff Bezos, world's richest man, completes his space voyage with brother and two others

New Delhi : Amazon founder Jeff Bezos completed his voyage to the outer space along with three others on Tuesday, in what Bezos-owned spaceflight company 'Blue Origin' called 'a historic day'. The day comes fifty two years after astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first feet to be placed on Moon on July 20, 1969.

Bezos was joined by brother Mark, an 82-year-old female aviator Wally Funk and 18-year-old Oliven Daemen, the youngest so far to explore outer space in the short voyage on Tuesday.

Blue Planet citing the "scheduling conflicts" said that the most anticipated anonymous winner of an auction seat in the space flight could not travel.  

The crew with Bezos, his brother and two others lifted off from the company's West



Texas launch site at 6:40 PM (IST) and touched down back on Earth exactly ten minutes after.

The 60-feet-tall fully autonomous New Shepard contained a reusable rocket booster and a capsule that was released at a height of about 100 km above the earth's surface.

Coasting upward along an unpowered trajectory, Bezos and his crewmates enjoyed about three minutes of weightlessness, free to unstrap and float about the cabin as it reached a high point of just above 62 miles (100 km), CBS News reported.

The reusable New Shepard booster headed back to Earth on its own after a few minutes that the capsule spent off the edge of space. It reportedly landed about 5 km away from the launch site.
