British billionaire Richard Branson, who soared miles above the earth in his Virgin Galactic rocket plane earlier this month, congratulated Amazon founder Jeff Bezos right after his initial trip to the space on Tuesday.
Bezos, world’s wealthiest man, undertook Blue Origin’s initial human mission on Sunday, spending a couple of minutes in the space, which is getting seen as a essential moment in the space tourism sector for the super-wealthy.
“Well done @blueorigin, @jeffbezos, Mark, Wally and Oliver. Impressive! Very best to all the crew from me and all the team at @virgingalactic,” mentioned Branson on Twitter.
Well carried out @blueorigin, @jeffbezos, Mark, Wally and Oliver. Impressive! Very ideal to all the crew from me and all the group at @virgingalactic

Blue Origin’s New Shephard capsule, carrying a crew of 4 such as Bezos, breached the boundary of space as it reached an altitude of 66.5 miles (107 kilometers) on Sunday.
Branson, who founded Virgin Galactic, had made the trip on July 11, reaching an altitude of 50 miles.
