Blue Origin, a spaceflight company owned by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, plans to start sending humans to space next year. That timeline was mentioned by Erika Wagner, Blue Origin's business development manager, at the New Space Age Conference at MIT.
We're trying to get to our first human flights within the next year. That's a laser focus for the team right now.- Wagner
The company previously mentioned a plan to send groups of six people into space per trip. They won't travel particularly far from Earth, but they'll be far enough away to experience weightlessness.
