The flight, conducted by Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin, will take place on July 20, the 53rd anniversary of the first moon landing. That’s 15 days after Bezos plans to step down as Amazon’s CEO. Unfortunately, it will be too soon to know whether the Helix structure Amazon is building in Arlington will be visible from space.
