A seat on Jeff Bezos?s Blue Origin flight into space has sold for $28 million (USD) at auction. A mystery bidder paid out a fortune to join the Amazon founder and his brother Mark on the New Shepard rocket?s first crewed flight on July 20. The bidding was already at $4.8 million going into the phone auction on June 12, organized by RR Auction in Boston, Massachusetts. And it kept rocketing as auctioneer Steve Little fielded offers on behalf of a group of anonymous bidders. The identity of the winning bidder is set to be announced later this month. Jeff Bezos announced earlier in the week that he would be aboard the New Shepard?s maiden crewed voyage. The launch will see the New Shepard rocket propel a capsule up to the point it breaks the stratosphere. The $28 million raised by the auction is being donated to Blue Origin?s in-house educational foundation Club For The Future, which promotes science and space travel among young people. *BYLINE MUST CREDIT BLUE ORIGIN. 12 Jun 2021 Pictured: The crew capsule of Blue Origin's New Shepard.
