The only indication of Blue Origin&#x27;s pricing structure is a public auction the company held for a seat on its first flight with Bezos, which went for $28 million. That&#x27;s multiple times the $200,000-to-$500,000 range that Blue Origin&#x27;s suborbital space tourism competitor Virgin Galactic has charged for seats on its future flights.<\/p>\n<p>Bezos said Blue Origin is &quot;going to fly human missions twice more this year&quot; but said he&#x27;s &quot;not sure yet&quot; how many crewed New Shepard launches the company will attempt in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;We&#x27;ll figure that out,&quot; Bezos said, adding that the company wants to launch at a &quot;very high&quot; rate in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Blue Origin currently has two New Shepard rocket boosters at its facility in Texas, one for research cargo flights and the other for passenger flights.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;We really do want to practice with this vehicle, so we&#x27;re going to have to build more boosters &#8230; to fly more frequently,&quot; Bezos said.<\/p>\n<p><em>Become a smarter investor with\u00a0<\/em><em><strong>CNBC Pro<\/strong><\/em><em>.<\/em><br \/><em>Get stock picks, analyst calls, exclusive interviews and access to CNBC TV.\u00a0<\/em><br \/><em>Sign up to start a\u00a0<\/em><em><strong>free trial today<\/strong><\/em><em><strong>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/07\/20\/jeff-bezos-blue-origin-space-tourist-sales-approaching-100-million.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeff Bezos&#x27;
