Have you ever traveled in space?On July 20th, 2021, Amazon founder(创始人）Jeff Bezos went on a 10-minute trip to space rising more than 104 kilometers into the sky. He didn't go alone. He had three other people with him. The first passenger is his younger brother Mark. They come from the same family. The second passenger is an 82-year-old woman called Wally Funk. She becomes the oldest person to go into space. She was one of 13 female pilots who passed the same tests in the 1960s. But she never went to space because only men were allowed at that time. Finally, a teenager called Oliver Daemen also joins the trip. He becomes the youngest person to go into space. Over the past six years, Jeff Bezos' company, had tried 15 successful tests without people , and engineers decided that the New Shepard(新谢泼德号飞船) was finally ready to carry passengers. The company also carefully choose the passengers. Although they didn't need to do much training before the trip, they still had to be up to the following standards.

•Be healthy enough to climb seven flights(一段楼梯)of stairs in 90 seconds.
•Be from 1. 5 m to 1. 9 m tall and weigh from 49 kg to 101 kg.
