The New Shepard capsule, named after Alan Shepard, a member of NASA's Mercury 7 class of astronauts who was the first American man in space, would take intrepid travelers on a suborbital space flight during which they would experience the feeling of weightless zero gravity before arriving back on Earth.
Bezos has plans to get those first space tourists into orbit in 2018, but what these out-of-this-world journeys will cost is anyone's guess -- early estimates place the price of admission around $100,000.
