- “Do you know what they call that?’ Stefanovic says while struggling to contain his laughter. “A rocket,” Langdon wryly replies.
- Still, laughing Stefanovic adds: “They call it Blue Origin. Does that look a little odd to you or is it just me?”

“Last week, it was announced that Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos would become one of the first-ever non-astronauts to fly into space when he kicks off his company’s space tourism business on 20th July.
Bezos, who is a divisive figure, has already been greeted with a petition that has been signed by more than 16,000 people demanding that he is not allowed back into the Earth’s orbit.

“Do you know what they call that?’ says Stefanovic struggling to contain his laughter. “A rocket,” Langdon correctly replies.
Still, bemused Stefanovic adds: “They call it Blue Origin. Does that look a little odd to you or is it just me?”
