18 years old Oliver wins the chance on a space tourism flight with Jeff Bezos

18 years old Oliver wins the chance on a space tourism flight with Jeff Bezos.

Amazon chief Jeff Bezos will board the first space flight arranged by his space research company Blue Origin. 18-year-old Oliver Dyman will accompany Bezos on the flight. Oliver’s father, a physics student, heads an investment company. Oliver got a chance to appear on the flight with Bezos for USD 28 million at auction.

According to Blue Origin, Oliver will be present on Tuesday in a four-member entire civilian crew. The company claimed that they did not release his name due to the delay in winning the auction.

Oliver is the first customer of Blue Origin who will take any company’s service for a fee. According to Blue Origin, the two youngest and the oldest citizens will be present on this flight. Oliver will set the record for the youngest astronaut to go into space at the age of 18.

At the same time, 42-year-old Wali Funk will be present on this flight. Jeff Bezos and his brother Mark Bezos will also be present on the flight.

He was currently working for his own pilot’s license and studying physics at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands. His father is John Dyman, CEO and founder of Somerset Capital Partners. Oliver’s father helped him financially with the flight.

However, the company declined to say precisely how much money the father was helping. A statement from the company said, “Oliver’s dream of flying into the New Shepard will come true. Since he was only four years old, he has been interested in space, the moon, rockets, etc.

Jeff Bezos is competing with two other billionaires in commercial space travel, Richard Branson and Elon Musk. Swiss bank UBS claims commercial space tourism will become a USD 3 billion market within a decade.

However, the Blue Origin’s spacecraft New Shepard is 60 feet long. This fully automatic rocket has no respite from controlling from the inside. Richard Branson went into space on Sunday.

Jeff Bezos will fly into space from a launchpad in Texas within days of the incident. Oliver Dyman, 18, will be with him.
