Jeff Bezos, billionaire and the founder of Amazon, traveled over 65 miles in the air on Tuesday. Bezos declared to the public that the event was his “Best day ever”. Bezos was accompanied by his brother Mark, 18-year-old Oliver Daemen, and Wally Funk, an aeronautics legend on this space trip. They took flight on a New Shepherd rocket.
