Jeff Bezos successfully completed his historic flight into space aboard his Blue Origin New Shepard rocket this morning!
The Amazon founder, along with his brother Mark Bezos, Wally Funk, and 18-year-old student Oliver Daemen, blasted off from Van Horn, Texas after 9 a.m. ET for the planned 11-minute flight and it went off without a hitch. The crew reached a height of roughly 62 miles above the Earth where they got to experience weightlessness for a short while, before descending back to Earth and landing safely in the West Texas desert. Upon landing, Bezos called it, "the best day ever." (ABC News)
