A mystery bidder who spent $28 million on a seat aboard Blue Origin’s first human flight has a “scheduling conflict” and can’t make the flight.

While the mystery bidder will get a chance to fly above the Karman Line in the future, their dropping out of the flight left a seat open and that seat has already been taken.

That seat now belongs to Oliver Daemen, an 18-year-old from Tilburg in the Netherlands who is set to become the youngest person to travel to space.

De 18-jarige Oliver Daemen uit Tilburg wordt de jongste astronaut ooit en de vierde Nederlander in de ruimte. Hij gaat mee met de ruimtereis van #BlueOrigin van #JeffBezos. Oliver is onderweg naar Texas, waar de lancering dinsdag plaatsvindt.https://t.co/hMsJWorRQK pic.twitter.com/5Xl3mqSAJt

The teen wasn’t selected out of the blue, according to a report from The Register, Joes Daemen – Oliver’s father – had the second highest bid for the seat aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket and chose to send his son to space.

As a reminder, the flight takes place on 20th July and Oliver will be joined by Jeff Bezos, Mark Bezos, and Wally Funk. With Oliver, Blue Origin can now claim the title of having sent the youngest and oldest person to space as Wally Funk is 82-years-old.

“We thank the auction winner for their generous support of Club for the Future and are honored to welcome Oliver to fly with us on New Shepard,” Blue Origin chief executive officer, Bob Smith said in a statement.

“This marks the beginning of commercial operations for New Shepard, and Oliver represents a new generation of people who will help us build a road to space,” the CEO added.

As a reminder, Virgin Galactic is giving away a trip to space via Omaze following Sir Richard Branson’s successful flight last weekend.
