that's why this 18-year-old, oliver damon was picked. he's dutch. his dad runs a private equity firm in the netherlands. they were part of the auction, but he didn't expect to go on the first flight. >> he's also on a gap year right now before college. so talk about like coming into his first year of university with a bang. he gets to say he's the youngest astronaut. that's pretty cool. but as you pointed out, it was his father that placed the winning bid for him. blue origin has said they have two more flights that they are planning to operate in 2021, and those seats have already been sold. they're selling tickets right now. we don't know the going price for those other tickets right now. we don't know what oliver and his father paid for this flight, but we do know one auction winner paid $28 million. virgin galactic's flights, they sold nearly 600 of them. they were going for around $200,000. >> and blue origin says the 28 million is being donated to a number of different charities. we'll have a lot more here. we're counting down to the launch of

conflicts, that paved the way for the second-highest bidder to take his spot, allowing 18-year-old oliver damonrom amsterdam to become the youngest person to go to space. >> it was a bit more emotional than i would have thought. >> reporter: his father, joss damon, who paid for the ticket, is a millionaire dutch businessman and founder and ceo of hedge fund somerset capital partners. >> it does seem for the foreseeable future, blue origin wants to run auctions and give to it the highest bidder. who knows how long that will last. even at $300,000, that's a pricey 10-minute vacation. went to space in 2006 knows who- firsthand how expensive these trips can be. >> at that time, the cost of the tickets were about $20 million. however, supply and demand, the cost has gone up significantly. >> reporter: while many people have criticized investment in space currism, ansari says it is critical. >> i believe it's short-sighted for us to say, why aren't we spending on other things? it's not a question of either/or. we need to invest in both. we need this desire, exploration, gaining knowledge, furthering

and 18-year-old oliver damon, talk about a graduation gift. it doesn't get much better than this for an aspiring pilot and astronaut. you know, one thing to notice as, you know, we're just a few minutes away from lift off, this is going to be so different from the shuttle launches that we see at the cape when you're right by the water. we're in the middle of a desert with this backdrop of the mountains. it's just going to look quite different and, you know, you want this really remote setting for a rocket launch to test rockets because it is so incredibly dangerous, of course. but this new shepherd reusable spacecraft, 15 consecutive test flights which is why blue origin feels so confident about sending these four crew members in space. >> 15 consecutive test flights. this is the first time they have humans on board. >> and first paying customer, too. >> i want to bring in colonel hatfield, retired astronaut. colonel, for these four in the capsule right now, what do you think they're feeling? >> it's like there are two or three people inside t

so that seat has gone to 18—year—old oliver damon. footballer has been arrested on suspicion of child sexual offences. the 31—year—old man, who hasn't been named for legal reasons, was detained on friday by greater manchester police. in a statement, the player's club confirmed he'd been suspended and said it would continue to support the authorities with inquiries. the footballer has been bailed pending further inquiries. plenty of us will be heading to the uk's coastal towns for a holiday this summer, but many of those communities would like to attract people for a lot longer thanjust a few days. scarborough is a town needing more professionals, like teachers and health care workers, to live and work there. our correspondent david sillito grew up there, and has been back to find out more. we're in scarborough and, as lockdown lifts, the town's bustling, but at 5 o'clock in the morning, it's still gloriously peaceful. if you're going to come to scarborough, there's only one way to start the day. here, you go in there, you can be feeli

. >> reporter: jeff and mark bezos, along with veteran aviator wally funk and dutch student oliver damon experienced zero gravity during the approximately 10 minute trip in a capsule built by the billionaire's private company, blue origin. the amazon founder says it is just the beginning. >> this sounds fantastical, what i'm about to tell you, but it will happen. we can move all heavy industry, and all polluting industry, off of earth, and operate it in space. and that -- it sounds fantastical. >> or crazy, jeff these is. >> and it can't happen today, and it will take many decades, and my generation, mark and i are going to be dead before this job is done. it's not about us. it's what we can do, what blue origin can do, is build a space vehicle that is so operable and commercial, and inexpensive, that it becomes the infrastructure that the next generation can use to take those big steps. >> reporter: and while blue origin has these big plans for the future, the brothers say their trip left them feeling small. >> it was just an incredibly humbling and beautiful sense of personal scale, ri

i mean, there was, you know, one paying customer who was och teenager oliver damon, how long do you think be before we see people regularly, you know, buying tickets to travel into space. well by having a blue origin send people the space today it ushers in new era is what i call that trifecta that we have three private companies that have the capability of sending people up into space. now, while they all have a common ground of a starting off as in space tourism, i think each of them have different endgames, for example, jeff bezos and his rockets more traditional like nasa, so he'll be going to the moon, mars and beyond. you look at virgin galactic and richard branson, his space plane. that's more like having an intercontinental travel system where you can blast off from nen an hour be in singapore, as opposed to a 14 hour traditional flight, so i think they're endgames a little different, but they have a common ground of stimulating and developing space tourism. and the costs are going to come down little by little, just like aviation. when aviation started. it was very expensive, and

on board will bejeff bezos's youngest brother, mark, and to join them will be a dutch teenager, oliver damonanother billionaire realised a lifelong dream. sir richard branson may have been the first to make it to the edge of space, but when jeff bezos launches and has rocket, he will be faster and going higher. it will travel at more than three times the speed of sound to 62 miles above the surface of earth, with no human pilot on board. we have been training, the vehicle is ready, the crew is ready, wejust vehicle is ready, the crew is ready, we just feel really good about it. they will feel weightless for a few minutes before the capsular freefall is back to earth. parachutes will release to soften the impact with the desert. if it all goes to plan, this will emerge as proof for future tourism at the sky is no longer the limit. sophie long, bbc news, texas. the sky surely isn't the limit for some people. we will talk more about that new endeavour on the part of the former ceo of amazon. we will talk to a space writer from the astronomical society. he will give us more on that expedition ta
