Jeff Bezos, the Amazon.co.inc founder, and his three crewmates landed in space by the blue origin and landed in West Texas at about 8:22 a.m. local time, roughly 10 minutes after it launched on Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket. It is reported that for a few minutes crew experienced weightlessness when the ship reached an altitude of about 62 miles (100 km) above the Earth.

Ultimately the successful mission indicates in future space-tourism ventures, following by nine days a trip to the heavens by U.K. billionaire Richard Branson on a special plane made by Virgin Galactic Holdings Inc., a rival to Blue Origin. Both companies are set to expand operations with plans to entice super-wealthy customers to pay big money for a unique travel experience. The Blue Origin having large windows and leather seats detached from the booster and ascend beyond the Karman line 62 miles above the Earth, where the passengers experience a few minutes of weightlessness and unforgettable views. They then strapped back in and fell toward the desert ground with six parachutes. 

Bezos, 57, said when he was 5 years old he made a strong will to travel to space, and now the dream has come true. He started Amazon.com Inc. a worldwide famous e-commerce site from his Seattle garage in 1994 and turned it into the world's largest online retailer, making him the wealthiest man on the planet with a net worth exceeding $200 billion. Branson's flight earlier this month stole some great ideas from Bezos' launch and prompted social-media jousting. Blue Origin dissed the Virgin Galactic flight in a July 9 tweet, calling it a "high altitude airplane". Blue Origin says it has the biggest windows in space. On Monday, Virgin Galactic on Twitter wished the Blue Origin team a "successful and safe flight."
