Bezos's Blue Origin craft will have no pilots on board as the systems are completely automated.
Branson in space: 'I was once a child with a dream'
Those aboard will experience the weightlessness of zero gravity for a few minutes at a height of 62 miles above the earth's surface, higher than the 53 miles reached by Virgin Galactic. Where Branson had two pilots aboard, there will be no crew on New Shepard as the entire operation is automated.
Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic received approval from the US Federal Aviation Administration to carry passengers into space and Branson and Bezos know this is a key moment in reassuring customers they can safely complete missions. Musk has not yet confirmed if he will take a seat on a SpaceX trip.
