You can now pay for a trip beyond the Kármán line on Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin rocket using cryptocurrency.

Shift4 Payments has collaborated with Blue Origin to enable payments via Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies for flights on the New Shepard spacecraft. Their new payment system is live and aims to facilitate easier transactions for space enthusiasts.

“Our mission has always been to revolutionize commerce by simplifying the transaction process, and we’re thrilled to now extend that vision beyond Earth,” said Taylor Lauber, CEO of Shift4 Payments. “This partnership will enable adventurous travelers to book the adventure of a lifetime, no matter their preferred payment method - all with a simple, frictionless experience.”

Currently, Blue Origin is taking bookings for its inaugural space trips and advises potential travelers to make a $150,000 deposit to secure a seat. This initiative marks a significant moment in the merging of cryptocurrency and space tourism, making it accessible for those interested in space travel.
