The astronauts aboard the 20 July 2021 flight were Jeff Bezos, Mark Bezos, Wally Funk and Oliver Daemen. At 82 years old Funk was the oldest person, and at 18 Daeman was the youngest, to travel into space.[68][3][4] Daemen got the commercial seat that the $28M auction winner did not use. Daemen's flight was paid for by his father, thus making Daemen the first commercial passenger of New Shepard.
