 Jeff Bezos, owner of the astronaut company Blue Origin, has announced that he will go into space three weeks later with the 82-year-old female astronaut Funk.

According to the Associated Press (AP), Funk took astronomy tests in the early days of the US space program but was not sent into space because she was a woman.

On Thursday, Bezos company Blue Origin announced that the company's first rocket will be launched from West Texas on July 20. In addition to Jeff Bezos and his brother, Funk will be the third person to win the 22.8 million auction.

At the age of 82, Funk will be an elderly person going into space. Funk was part of Mercury 13, a program launched by NASA in the 1960s. In this program, women were trained to go into space but they were not taken into space.

Funk is happy to have the opportunity to go into space again. According to her, she is enjoying every moment. According to her, she is eagerly waiting to go into space.

Jeff Bezos wrote on his Instagram page that no one waited more than Funk for the occasion. Now is the time to welcome Wali.

The founders of Amazon are stepping down as CEO of the company on Monday next week.
