Blue Origin, a space tourism company owned by Amazon, is planning to take its first space tourists in its New Shepard suborbital vehicle in 2019. The company has said that the vehicle can carry tourists to an altitude of 60 km above the Earth to witness planet's curvature and experience weightlessness. The company, which is competing in space travel with Elon Musk's Space X will start selling tickets in 2019.
