Washington: Call it a space race for billionaires: British mogul Richard Branson one-upped rival Jeff Bezos on Thursday, announcing that he too will blast beyond Earth s atmosphere - as many as nine days ahead of the Amazon founder. With both tycoons having created space tourism companies and positioned themselves as leaders in the suborbital-flights-for-the-wealthy sector, the move signaled clear if not fierce competition. The announcement follows Bezo s proclamation in early June that he and his brother would be part of the crew on the first manned flight aboard his company Blue Origin s New Shepard launch vehicle. The move stole the thunder from Branson, who had long vowed to participate in a Virgin Galactic test flight before the launch of regular commercial operations slated for 2022.
