jeff bezos coming up soon. no shortage of competition it seems so what are we going to see from jeff bezos and how is it different we just saw? >> reporter: so that is expected to happen in just nine day, dan, on july 20th and basically that's going to be a more traditional rocket that goes up with that capsule, "new shepard" above the rocket that will detach and go past that carmen line 62 miles above earth. it will look more traditional. more what we've seen decade after decade with space launches. this looks differently. but bezos believes that that is the future of commercial spaceflight. you know, a lot of people have criticized this saying this is a joyride for the rich, because on virgin galactic, we're talking about $250,000 per seat, about 700 people have bought including celebrities, perhaps even especially celebrities who have that kind of money, 250,000 to spend on a seat and you're looking at what it costs over on blue origin and jeff bezos, what we've seen is that that ticket is in the millions, so it's right now definitely something for rich people, but it's something that they hope will be able to

haidi: jeff bezos stepped down as ceo earlier this month. how we heard from him? ed: no. jeff bezos has moved into the executive chair role. he was not on this call and interestingly, the new ceo, andy jassy, was not on the earnings call either. he had a quote in the statement so amazon have kept that tradition. all of the communication was made by the cfo and the only thing he had to say was that they expected andy jassy to bring his usual optimism to the role but i think the expectation is very much that he carries on in the same vein that jeff bezos was. haidi: he still has his head in the clouds i suspect when it comes to jeff bezos. ed ludlow. take a look at where nasdaq futures are trading, off 140 points, about 1%, and that is really amazon down in the after-hours effect that we are seeing there. let's get to vonnie quinn, who has the first word headlines for us. vonnie: a group of gop senators is calling on the sec to investigate fraudulent chinese companies listed in the united states. the move follows the didi dibacco and china's enforcement actions on the ridehailin
