Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and three other passengers jetted to the edge of space on Tuesday morning and hung in the sky for a few minutes before returning to Earth. The flight lasted only 10 minutes, but it was enough to kickstart an increased push for space exploration and travel, which is exactly what Bezos had hoped for.
