Blue Origin owner Jeff Bezos will take an 18-year-old student into space. The young man will replace the anonymous winner of the auction, who bought a ticket for $ 28 million – he refused a space trip due to a discrepancy in the schedule.
In the company of Jeff Bezos, his brother and 82-year-old pilot Wally Funk will go on a suborbital flight. Thus, the oldest and the youngest person will be on board the New Shepard space plane – this will be a new record.
Who is this young passenger? Oliver Daman is the son of Dutch entrepreneur Jos Daman, CEO of Somerset Capital Partners. He recently graduated from high school, received his pilot's license and will begin his studies at the University of Utrecht in September. The guy from an early age is fond of the topic of space and rockets.
The team of four is planning to fly above 100 km and overcome the Karman line – the conditional border between the Earth's atmosphere and space.
