Which records did the Jeff Bezos space flight break?
Jeff Bezos was on the first crewed Blue Origin flight with his brother, 18-year-old Oliver Daemen from the Netherlands, and 82-year-old aviation pioneer Wally Funk, from the Dallas area — the youngest and oldest to ever fly in space.
Who is Wally Funk?
Wally Funk was one of 13 female pilots who went through the same tests as NASA’s all-male astronaut corps in the early 1960s but never made it into space._
Who is Oliver Daemen?
Oliver Daemen is Blue Origin’s first paying customer. The 18-years-old was an underbidder; an unknown person who initially won the auction for the first Blue Origin space flight with a $28 million bid had to postpone their fight due to “scheduling difficulties.”
