Glen de Vries, who flew to space with ‘Star Trek’ actor William Shatner on a Blue Origin rocket last month, has died in a small plane crash in New Jersey. Condoling the 49-year-old Medidata Co-founder’s death, Blue Origin Founder Jeff Bezos wrote, “Lauren and I are heartbroken.” “He was a visionary, and an innovator – a true leader,” he added.
Such a tragic loss. Warm and full of life, Glen made us laugh and lit up the room. He was a visionary, and an innovator – a true leader. Lauren and I are heartbroken and will remember the precious time we got to spend together. (1/2) pic.twitter.com/AYKCGIUQfD
