The winner of the auction gets a seat on Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket with Jeff Bezos and his brother for the company's first human flight.

Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin kicked off a three-phase online auction in early May, offering one seat on the first flight of its New Shepard spacecraft, which has already had over a dozen successful flights to and from space, according to the company.

Jeff Bezos will travel to space in a Blue Origin capsule next month for an 11-minute ride to space. Just how risky is his decision?
