A flight to space with Jeff Bezos aboard Blue Origin's New Shepard sold for $28 million

It's been a long month of bidding, but Jeff Bezos is officially going to have more company than just his brother during the Amazon founder's upcoming inaugural trip into outer space.

Blue Origin's extended auction for an open seat aboard the July 20 launch of New Shepard closed on Saturday. The winning bidder isn't yet known — their identity will be revealed in the coming weeks — but the final price for that ticket landed at $28 million.

All proceeds collected from the auction will go to Club for the Future, a Blue Origin-owned and operated nonprofit "whose mission is to inspire future generations to pursue careers in STEM and to help invent the future of life in space." Read more...

      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
