Amazon's Founder Jeff Bezos space flight was a huge success and he becomes the second civilian billionaire to travel to space in a rocket called the "New Shepard" that his space company Blue Origin built. Virgin founder billionaire Richard Branson did it 9 days earlier. Jeff Bezos trip lasted about 11 minutes and he was accompanied by his brother, an 18 year old and a 82 year old woman who never had the opportunity to go to space because of her gender.
