Billionaire Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin announced plans to send a new group of tourists into space aboard the New Shepard. The mission will start on October 12.
As well as the first time, four people will go on the flight. These include former NASA engineer and co-founder of Planet Labs Chris Boshuizen, as well as deputy chairman of the health department of Dassault Systemes and co-founder of Medidata Glen de Vries.
The company has not yet announced the names of the other two astronauts, but if you believe rumorsone of them will be 90-year-old actor William Shatner, who played Captain Kirk in the TV series "Star Trek".
For Blue Origin, this mission will be the second launch of tourists into space. First successful flight took place July 20, when New Shepard lifted Jeff Bezos himself, his younger brother Mark, 82-year-old Wally Funk and 18-year-old Dutchman Oliver Daman to an altitude of more than 100 km.
