A seat on a spaceship with billionaire Jeff Bezos has sold at auction for $28m.
Inside the capsule will be Jeff Bezos, his brother, the yet-to-be-named auction winner and a fourth anonymous person.
It will be the first crewed flight by the Amazon founder’s aerospace company Blue Origin and is due to blast off on July 20.
Al Jazeera’s Charlotte Bellis reports.

I will wait
I heard Elon Musk bought the ticket to space
Bezos made more than $28,000,000 during the time it took to finish the auction.
We need to get more of these billionaires off the planet, preferably to mars & good luck to them trying to repoduce oxygen.
Is either of Bezos's parents still alive? They wouldn't appreciate TWO of their children going up in that thing.
Whoever is paying $28 Million to get a whiff of the vacuum of space and experience a few minutes of weightlessness is a chump. If you're gonna fork over $28 Million!, you deserve to experience at least one orbit around the Earth. C'mon!
I think the 2020 pandemic has taught a lot of people the importance of multiple streams of income,unfortunately having a job doesn't mean security…no rich man or woman made it through salary,investing now will be wise
Space is fake.
Imagine paying 28 million to die on tv
And we can’t get fair taxation of the rich. Shameful!!
SPCE SPCE SPCE SPCE SPCE 28 million ticket winning bid…surreal for the space sector.. SPCE to the moon monday not to mention more super news with richard branson and his NEW 3 billion virgin orbit merger
I'm so DISGUSTED! This is most gross display of EXCESS in the faces of the millions struggling to survive below the poverty level. Our country is still feeling from from a deadly pandemic. Average citizens watch the ultra-rich benefit using every conceivable loophole (legal or illegal-mostly through laws they secretly broker through backroom deals/threats etc.) to perpetuate the immense gap between them and the poor. In my state home insurance has increased 33 percent in 2021. The rich are buying up homes/entire subdivisions at 200-300 percent above asking… they're running average Americans out of their homes!! Now there laughing and bragging in my face about $25 million POCKET CHANGE!!!!!
what a joke
ugh for the elites.
It's nothing to pay $28,million when you don't have to pay taxes
For 28 million, the US could lift thousands out of poverty. The Dems has got to tax the wealthy obscenely. They deserve it.
Pleaae please dont come back
Meanwhile schools across the planet are chronically underfunded. Services for parents nonexistent. Healthcare is a luxury for many. Mental healthcare a pipedream. Love this dystopia.
IMO paying $28m+ for a 3minutes experience in zero gravity is stupid. You can can start a personal space company with that kind of money… And
Several years back, well before this obviously not fake pandemic, weren't people paying several hundred thousand dollars to Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic for a trip to space? What ever happened to that?
Should have just contributed to medicine instead.
hope for crash..bezos on board.
$28m you say,how many people can u help in war torn nations such as Yemen,Afghanistan, and Syria than spending money on things that do not even make sense,you go in space for 10mins the back to earth ,for what??? You could donate that money to hospitals and orphanages HV a caring heart for once!!%%
Honestly, that's just wrong paying that much on the hope that you get to see Jeff Bezos blow up.
28 millions for 10 minutes in space! It would have been better if you had ended the globe pandemic, before insinuating about colonizing other planets!!
We hope you all return safely
EAT THE RICH!! Before they destroy us all.
Ridiculous 🙄 How about y'all help the poor and suffering people on earth.
What about CO2 foot print? Doesnt matter, theyre rich….
Human become so bored that they are going to fly to the space…
instead of admiring the beautiful landscapes of earth below..
Welcome to the Death Journey..
This aint gonna end well,
not until we reach the year of 2050
Hope this doesn't end in tragedy
Lol 28 mill I would get so much crypto or bngo stock ^.^
