Bezos Lift to Space
THE DEN

Blue Origin was established by Jeff Bezos in September 2000, six years after he founded Amazon. For a decade, the spaceflight company operated quietly, mostly hidden from public view.

Blue Origin proceeded to develop its own spacecraft, which including New Shepard, which is meant to transport passengers and payloads to suborbital space on short journeys. The 59-foot-tall (18-meter) spacecraft is named after NASA astronaut Alan Shepard, whose suborbital mission on May 5, 1961, was the first crewed spaceflight in the United States.

Making And Appreciation
On May 5, Blue Origin revealed the July 20 target. The dates were carefully chosen: May 5 marked the 60th anniversary of Shepard's historic mission, and July 20 marked the 52nd anniversary of the Apollo 11 lunar landing.
Bezos has frequently mentioned Apollo 11 as a major influence, claiming that his dreams of flying began when he was five years old and watched the momentous lunar landing.  Blue Origin created history of its own, and not just for the company's sake: Funk and Daemen were the oldest and youngest persons to reach the last frontier, respectively.
