According to Bloomberg, Blue Origin is auctioning off one seat on its New Shepard rocket for the July 20 flight. The seat will be the only one available for purchase on the flight, and the proceeds will go to Blue Origin’s foundation, ‘Club for the Future’, which promotes math and science education.

Jeff and Mark Bezos’ trip will last 11 minutes, reaching the suborbital space which will be at an altitude of about 100 kilometres (62 miles), above the Earth.
