A seat to fly with Jeff Bezos to space sells at auction for $28 million

Whoever it is, the person will get to strap into New Shepard’s capsule alongside Bezos, his brother Mark and a fourth, yet-to-be-named crew member, for a rollicking ride to the edge of space that lasts all of 10 minutes. The flight is scheduled for July 20, the anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, from the company’s launch site in West Texas.
