I noticed they’re headed out to the pad in an electric truck. I think maybe he took a bit of a cue from Elon Musk with his Teslas taking their astronauts out out to the pad.

Why couldnt it just have been Bezos aboard. Would have made my type of luck wish so easy. As there are other passengers I wish them good luck. May Bezos fall out of the hatch at apogee and the rest of them return safe and sound.
Crew rings the Bell on the way to the Capsule and getting strapped in.

About 25 minutes until launch.
To: PghBaldy
This is the 1st time you can actually look into a capsule and see people inside. I’ve never seen a space flight until now where you could do that. Just a little thing.
Also, the CAPCOM is kind of cute. Just saying.

I am confused - wasn’t Branson the first non-govt. human flight?

Yeah, he was.
The big thing BO is touting is that this flight will go above the “internationally recognized” Karman Line, the invisible line that separates the top of the atmosphere and space. Branson didn’t go that high.
Is the International line is at 62 miles. The American line is 50 miles. I’ve never been able to figure out the disparity.
