Four people will be aboard the inaugural crewed

launch on July 20: Blue Origin founder Jeff

Bezos, the former head of Amazon; his brother,
Mark Bezos, Daemen and pioneering female
aviator Wally Funk, age 82. Funk was one of 13
graduates of the private Women in Space
program, which put female pilots through the
same paces as astronauts in training in the
1960s. NASA never considered sending these
women to space, though, and Funk went on to a
barrier-breaking career as a Federal Aviation
Administration inspector and National
Transportation Safety Board air safety
investigator.
