Jeff Bezos says he'll be on Blue Origin's first human flight next month. Here's how his space plans compare with Elon Musk's and Richard Branson's.
The Amazon founder and fellow centi-billionaire, Jeff Bezos, has his own space company — Blue Origin — and he said Monday that he planned to fly on its inaugural human flight to the edge of space in July. Richard Branson, whose Virgin Group dabbles in everything from airlines to healthcare, launched a commercial-spaceflight company of his own called Virgin Galactic.

Virgin Galactic’s Richard Branson Aims to Fly to Space Before Jeff Bezos
It looks like Richard Branson could beat fellow billionaire Jeff Bezos to space next month.
Virgin Galactic is working on a plan to send Branson on a suborbital flight aboard the
VSS Unity SpaceShipTwo rocket plane over the July 4 holiday weekend, according to a source who requested anonymity. The flight is contingent upon obtaining an operator’s license from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Branson’s flight would take place about two weeks before Bezos, his brother Mark and the winner of an online auction are scheduled to board Blue Origin’s New Shepard vehicle for a suborbital flight on July 20. It will be the first crewed flight of New Shepard, which has flown 15 times with no one aboard.
