Hard to know what is PR and what is real. Bezos is set to head into space July 20th, and more records will be broken. I'm sure he wouldn't mind stealing a little bit of that thunder from Branson; in fact I'm sure he fully intends to, and if there's some shade cast Sir Richard's way as part of that process, so be it.
Quoted from some kind of source:
Quote:SEATTLE, July 14 - Jeff Bezos may have been beaten to space by rival Richard Branson, but the billionaire American businessman is poised to make history next week aboard what would be the world's first unpiloted suborbital flight with an all-civilian crew.
Add to the list of records that will be broken on July 20th: the youngest-ever person to travel into space will be 18 year-old Oliver Deamen (hell of a name, and yes he looks like he could totally be the antichrist), who has been announced to be replacing the mysterious 28-million-dollar passenger, who backed out due to 'scheduling conflicts'.
Riiiight. You spend 28 million dollars to secure a seat and then you have a fucking scheduling conflict? Dude chickened out, plain and simple. LOL! Aside from the absurd excuse, I can't blame the guy. I'm terrified of just normal flying.
