Washington:
An unnamed bidder paid $28 million at auction Saturday for a seat on board the initially crewed spaceflight of Jeff Bezos’ corporation Blue Origin on July 20, as one of 4 passengers which includes the Amazon founder himself.
The winner, whose identity will be disclosed in coming weeks, beat out some 20 participants in an auction launched in late May, and wrapped up with a 10-minute on the net bidding frenzy, livecast by Blue Origin.
