THE HAPPENING WORLD: Fools and Their Money—Blue Origin New Shepard Seat Auctioned for US$28 Million
To put this in perspective, US$ 28 million for an eleven minute carnival ride with about three minutes of weightlessness is about half the current estimated price of a Soyuz orbital tourist flight lasting around a week and including a visit to the International Space Station.
I have cued the video to start at the actual auction. If you'd like to see the fifteen minute preliminary, scroll back to the beginning.
