4. For some, going into space would be a priceless experience, but it was actually a bid of $28 million that's secured someone's dream.
They'll be zooming into space with Amazon founder and billionaire Jeff Bezos and his brother, Mark.
The Blue Origin's Human Spaceflight will happen next month. More than 6,000 people from 143 countries vied for a chance to win a ride on the rocketship built by the company Bezos founded.
The name of that winning bidder heading to outer space has not yet been announced.
5. It's like the story of Jonah from the Bible, as a diver is swallowed by a whale!
Michael Packard was diving off the coast of Race Point, in Provincetown, Massachusetts, when something slammed into him. It turned out to be a humpback whale, feeding in those same waters.
The whale, apparently just as surprised as Michael, began thrashing around and then spit him out.
The whole incident was witnessed by a nearby charter boat who came to help the stunned diver.
