RICHARD Branson is planning to beat Jeff Bezos in the billionaire space race as Virgin Galactic announced he'll be on their July 11 flight. Bezos announced earlier this month that he and his brother would be heading to space on July 20 on Blue Origin's New Shepherd spacecraft. The flight will be Virgin Galactic's fourth test spaceflight and its first mission with a crew of four on board. The craft will be flown by Virgin Galactic pilots Dave Mackay and Michael Masucci. Meanwhile, Bezos' mission will shoot him 60 miles above the earth for just 11 minutes in a six-seater capsule.
