jeff bezos' mission is a suborbital flight.hepherd, named after alan shepherd, the first american in space. and it's doing a similar mission to what he did, going up for about 15 minutes, getting into space, and coming back down. richard branson's spaceship has a mothership that takes it up. it goes into space and lands back on earth on a runway. there shouldn't be any junk in orbit as a result of either of these two programs. but you're right, space junk is a concern. but in this case, i don't think we need to worry about it. >> would you go on either of these flights? >> i would. i would love to go again. to experience it again, sure. i certainly would. i'm not paying that money, though, i'll tell you what. you know, i worked hard in school and, you know, to become a nasa astronaut, and not that we got paid all that much, but we didn't have to pay for the experience. i don't think i would pay that price quite yet. >> yeah, i'm curious -- >> maybe someday the price will come down. or they'll ask me to go or figure out somethin

jeff bezos: we will fly human missions twice more this year. what we do in the following year, i am not sure yet. we will figure that out and what the cadence will eventually be, we want it to be very high. thing we found out is the auction process and what we have been doing its private sales, we are approaching 100 million dollars in private sales already. the demand is very high. we will keep after that because we want to practice with this vehicle. we will have to build more boosters and to fly more frequently and working on the operational things. we need to do the things we learned. what practice does is let you get better. we want to be able to -- we have a mission like between 25 and 100 flights for these vehicles. we want to make that closer to 100 than 25 and once it is close to 100, we push it past 100. that's how you get operational usability. these start small. i told this crew, when we got in today, we were sitting on the pad, waiting to lift off. we had time to ourselves. i said, guys, if you are willing, let me invite you. when

now, i spoke with the bezos brothers post -flight and asked jeff what today's successful mission meansee it, when you're up there you see how tiny this planet's atmosphere here. here it seems big. you look around but it's a small thing supporting all life. we need to take all polluting industry, all heavy industry, and move it off earth. this will take many decades, but that's what we can do if we have usable space vehicles. so this suborbital tourism mission lets us practice that. we need to do that over and over and over and get as good at running space vehicles as we are as a civilization at running commercial airliners. >> reporter: so it's a long-term vision that includes orbital rockets, lunar landers, space habitats, all these types of initiatives that are under development at blue origin bezos telling me now that he's no longer ceo of amazon and he has a lot more time to dedicate to this vision with plans to at least for now split his time between blue origin and bezos earth funds. but in the meantime, today's mission also kicking off commercial service for "new shepard" with t

richard branson put himself on this mission, after jeff bezos announced it was supposed to launch laterer. talk to me about the competitive nature of these billionaires behind all of this? >> well, they didn't get to be worth what they're worth today by being passive people. threompetitive, obviously, not only in business and life, but now we each other. this is a new age, the age of space barons, and there are ar firsts that have to be established. one of them is which one of the guys is going to get up there first, and it turns out to it is richard branson. and for now, in this commercial space and space tourism, it is really for rich guys. but it is hoped that over time the fleets will expand, the number of flights will expand, and in turn the flights will come down. maybe not within striking distance of most people. virgin galactica has a waiting list of 600 people, who paid up to a quarter million dollars a e foirhace at branson hopes to give it to them starting next year. the chances are the virgin galactica waiting list will reopen now. the price will probably be even higher. but

missions? >> yes of course but who is jeff bezos to decide? to decide the right balance between taking care of homeless individuals, between helping people with s.t.e.m. education, between making science and astronauts more inclusive, and having missions into space. what is offensive he thinks a few people like him get to make these societal decisions. no, we live in a democracy. democracies get to decide the balance. >> let me share with you a bit of the libertarian perspective here from an op-ed responds to the criticism you're making writing "the irony is that nasa takes our money to finance a space program that no ordinary citizen could ever hope to access yet when branson, musk and bezos spend their own wealth with the explicit goal of one day elg ever-cheaper tickets to allcomers, that is when congressmen get grumpy." i'm not saying you're the congressman they're talking about but alluding to the pushback you're talking about here. what say you? >> last i heard cost $28 million. i don't see how that's democratizing access to space. if the

jeff bezos. this operation, this mission, has been criticized so much by so many people.? tom: it is not divisive in that we have been there before. all the way through mercury, gemini, and apollo, on to the space station and space shuttle, there was a rationalization of what we were doing. maybe described this moment before we go to emily chang. jonathan: the astronauts will cross the bridge to the crew capsule. once they get the go, the hatch will close. and we have to wait a moment, wait about 25 minutes or so to make that trip, before we take off. jeff bezos on the screen, the first across the bridge, alongside his brother. what a moment for the 82-year-old aviation icon. she has waited a long time for this to happen. tom: we will not describe her career as an oklahoma aggie. emily chang has been with the astronauts at the center outside of vanhorn, texas. emily, what have you seen about team bezos as they prepare for this flight? emily: the energy here is palpable. as we prepare to load into that crew capsule, we are told it is going to be a very sensory experience f
