I know what I’m going to look like at 85,” he said about the G-force.The other four passengers paid for their tickets: space engineer Dylan Taylor, investor Evan Dick, technology entrepreneur Lane Bess and his son Cameron. Blue Origin did not disclose how much they each paid for their ticket. The launch, originally scheduled for Wednesday, was postponed to Saturday due to forecast winds, Blue Origin said.

This was the third manned trip Blue Origin has made into space from Texas. On the first in July, Amazon founder Bezos himself was on board, along with his brother Mark, an 82-year-old former US pilot and an 18-year-old Dutchman.
