TRIVIA

Two billionaires recently flew into space, symbolically marking the beginning of tourism. Which one went higher?

a) Jeff Bezos, with Origin Blue's New Shepard.

b) Richard Branson, with Virgin Galactic's VSS Unity.

 

Response: 

a) Jeff Bezos.

The founder of Amazon passed the so-called Kármán line, established at an altitude of 100 kilometers, which formally marks the boundary between the Earth and space. In fact, Branson did not reach space. The Virgin Galactic "only" reached 85 kilometers in altitude.
