An 18-year-old is going to space with Jeff Bezos
CNN
Blue Origin said in a press release that the person, who asked to remain anonymous for the time being, had to bow out because of "scheduling conflicts." The winner will instead take a spot on a future mission. Flying in their place — alongside Bezos, his brother Mark Bezos, and Wally Funk, an 82-year-old pilot and one of the "Mercury 13" women — will be an 18-year old recent high school graduate named Oliver Daemen.
The flight is slated for July 20.
