Two billionaires recently flew into space, symbolically marking the beginning of space tourism. Which of them reached the highest altitude?
a) Jeff Bezos, with Origin Blue's New Shepard
b) Richard Branson, aboard the VSS Unity, operated by Virgin Galactic
Answer:
a) Jeff Bezos.
The founder of Amazon crossed the so-called Kármán line, which is set at an altitude of 100 kilometers and formally marks the boundary between Earth and space. In fact, Branson did not reach space. The Virgin Galactic spacecraft “only” reached an altitude of 85 kilometers.
