Richard Branson ‘beats’ Jeff Bezos as first billionaire in space
A game far pee for advanced. Which billionaire is first in space, Richard Branson or Jeff Bezos?
Was it cool decades ago when you flew from London to New York in a Concorde. Today the earth is no longer enough. It has to be crazier and bigger. And so space is the next target of the wealthy. Fun trips to space to look down on Earth. An unprecedented view that most of us will never experience.
Richard Branson in space
It was initially thought that Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos would be the first to go into space. That scoop passes the bald billionaire. Richard Branson, of Virgin fame, will receive that honor. On July 11, he will leave for space in a Virgin Galactic spacecraft.
That’s no coincidence. Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos are strong competitors. Not because they’re both billionaires, but because they both own a business that does things related to aerospace. At Branson, that is the aforementioned Virgin Galactic. In the case of Jeff Bezos, that’s Blue Origin. And then there’s Elon Musk with his SpaceX. In short, the billionaires of this world are only a little busy with space travel.
