Default Bezos/Blue Origin Space Flight 7-20-21

In the interest of ‘equal time’, the next entry in the ‘Billionaires In Space’ sweepstakes will be Jeff Bezos with three others Tuesday morning, July 20 at 9:00am eastern.

Blue Origin will begin their program streaming at 6:30am. While I suspect several different space related websites will be carrying the stream also, Blue Origin will be streaming from the link below:

https://www.blueorigin.com

On a human interest note, this flight — if successful — will carry the youngest and the oldest humans to go into space.

The latest tweets from Blue Origin indicate that they are still on the scheduled dates/times listed above, but delays and problems can arise.

I had to look it up.

RSS stands for Reusable Space Ship.
