On July 20, Jeff Bezos will go to space the old-fashioned way: on the end of a rocket.

The New Shepard spacecraft by Blue Origin will lift off at Bezos’s ranch in West Texas, travel 62 miles overhead and then detach a crew capsule in which Bezos, his brother Mark, and two passengers will enjoy about three minutes of weightlessness.

Follow live coverage of Blue Origin's first manned mission on Bloomberg TV and Bloomberg Quicktake on OTT.
