60 years after first American goes to space, you can now buy ticket out of this world

Have you ever wanted to visit space? Well, billionaire Jeff Bezos is making it possible, for a hefty price.

Blue Origin, Bezos’ rocket company, will begin to sell tickets for sightseeing space visits Wednesday.

At last check, $200,000 will buy you a seat on the New Shepard spacecraft, marking a big step not just for mankind, but for private commercial space travel.

According to Blue Origin’s website, 60-foot-tall rocket will hold enough space for you and five of your closest friends. The rocket will travel faster than Mach 3 speeds, it will cross the Karman line, then the trip will end with a gentle landing in the West Texas desert.
