Billionaire Richard Branson has announced that he will go to space on July 11. That is just 9 days before billionaire Jeff Bezos’ flight to space in his own space company, Blue Origin. Bezos will be traveling with his brother, and an auction winner who paid $28 million for the flight. Earlier, when Bezos announced that he will be going to space on July 20, people thought he would be the first of the three billionaire founders of space companies to go to space. The other two are Elon Musk, who owns SpaceX, and Richard Branson, who owns Virgin Galactic. Now that Branson has announced he will go nine days before, he will be the first to go to space. When he was asked if he was trying to beat Bezos to space, he denied it.
