The first entry of SpaceX founder Elon Musk in the competition for space tourism blasted off Wednesday night from NASA's Kennedy Space Center pad in Florida.
The mission will be New Shepard’s 16th flight, but this will be the first time that it would carry humans aboard. The mission dubbed the ‘First Human Flight’ will carry Bezos along with three other civilians and would blast off at 9:00 AM EDT from the company's Launch Site One near Van Horn, Texas.
