Welcome to SENKRECHTSTARTER! Today, I’m talking to Michi Benthaus (ESA, Mars Atmosphere/GNC) and Hans Königsmann (former SpaceX, “father of Falcon 9 & Dragon”) about their planned Blue Origin flight with New Shepard. Michi would be the first paraplegic person to cross the Kármán line (~100 km)
I’m not sure which mission they’re allocated to. (Haven’t actually watched the interview yet.) Obviously not NS-35 as that was a couple of hours ago (and unmanned). This list on Wikipedia doesn’t currently have entries for NS-36 or any subsequent missions.
Königsmann can definitely afford whatever it costs
Yes, I was just wondering whether he is a billionaire. How many SpaceX billionaires there might be. Etc. I’m guessing we’re talking a net worth of more like 9 digits than 10, though.
