Now it'll be Bezos with the asterisk next to his name as the *second person to reach sub-orbital altitude in a passenger spacecraft. Imagine having $200bn and still coming second. Well-deserved to Branson and his team.

Counting the occupied passenger seats in the Virgin Galactic Unity 22 flight, I’m pretty sure Bezos’ best available position is “fifth person...”. Still has a shot at second billionaire, though.

First time?
