How you could buy a ticket to space – Staggering cost of flight exposed

Amazon founder, Jeff Bezos, has established Blue Origin to blast tourists to space.

Although Blue Origin hasn’t publicly disclosed how much it costs to fly on its rocket, New Shepard, the last seat sold at auction cost $28m.

Mr Bezos said: “We don’t know quite yet,” when he was asked by reporters when Blue Origins would release their ticket prices.

He added: “Right now we’re doing really well with private sales.”

According to the BBC, Blue Origin is expected to sell tickets for future flights at a cost of between $200,000 and $300,000.
