Jeff Bezos, the world’s richest man, is set to blast off to space this Tuesday morning on his company Blue Origin’s first commercial flight.

Bezos, who paired his spacesuit with a cowboy hat, rang a ceremonial bell before climbing into the capsule, followed by his 53-year-old younger brother, Mark Bezos, whom he invited on the trip.
