How much does a Blue Origin ticket cost?
Blue Origin has not revealed the price of a ticket to fly on its rocket, designated New Shepard, but sales for the company were nearing $100 million last year, according to the New York Times.
While it’s unclear how much of that revenue was from ticket sales, Jeff Bezos told the Times that the company was doing “really well with private sales.”
In a public auction for a seat on the first Blue Origin flight, Justin Sun, CEO of blockchain platform Tron, ended up paying $28 million for a ticket.
While Davidson’s ticket to the heavens is not likely to come cheap, it will certainly be cheaper than that, according to Engadget.
