Jeff Bezos to step down as Amazon CEO World s richest man Jeff Bezos has landed back on Earth after successfully completing the first-ever upiloted suborbital flight that made history with the youngest and oldest person to space. Bezos flew beyond the Karman line 100 kms above the ground and the internationally recognised boundary of space on board his company Blue Origin s fully automated and reusable New Shepard rocket. The mission lasted 10 minutes and 10 seconds. He was accompanied by his brother Mark, 82-year-old female aviator Wally Funk and an 18-year-old physics student Oliver Daemen, from the Netherlands, on the first human flight of the New Shepard rocket, NS-16, which launched from Launch Site One in West Texas a little over 9 a.m. EDT (6.30 p.m. IST).
