Billionaires Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson have now both gone to space. Here's the difference between their Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic flights.

Two competing billionaires have launched successful trips to space in the race for commercial space travel. On Tuesday, Amazon and Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos blasted off into space on the New Shepard spacecraft. Last week, Virgin Galactic's Richard Branson rocketed into space on his own aircraft. Here are the differences between the two flights. 

Bezos and three crewmates lifted off from the Blue Origin's West Texas launch site and rocketed to an altitude of more than 62 miles above the Earth.  Branson, two pilots and three other crew members flew on the VSS Unity spaceplane. They lifted away from the company's Spaceport America launch site July 11 near Truth or Consequences, New Mexico.
