- Paul Jeris, an enterprising American entrepreneur, ready to conquer new heights.

Blue Origin made history with its first-ever crewed suborbital flight on July 20, 2021, coinciding with the 52nd anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. Jeff Bezos himself was part of that groundbreaking voyage, joined by his brother and aviation pioneer Wally Funk, Dutch student Oliver Daemen, and a star-studded cast of passengers, including famous "Star Trek" actor William Shatner (in October 2021) and pop sensation Katy Perry (just last month).
