Blue Origin’s first crewed flight will be carrying a number of superlatives to space with its four passengers. Inside the New Shepard crew capsule will be not only the world’s richest man — Blue Origin and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos — but also the oldest person to ever go to space,82-year-old aeronautics pioneer Wally Funk, and the youngest, an 18-year-old student in the Netherlands named Oliver Daemen. Daemen was announced Thursday as the final passenger on the historic mission (Bezos‘ brother Mark will also be on board).
