The Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is taking his space venture hobby to another level. Speaking at The New York Times' DealBook Summit, Bezos emphasized that while Blue Origin isn't currently the best business, it has thepotential to surpass even his $2.3 trillion Amazon empire. Bezos takes his Blue Origin seriously by selling his Amazon stocks to fund Blue Origin.
New Shepard: It's a spacecraft for the purpose of space tourism and space research. The rocket is reusable, can land vertically after launch, and has ferried passengers and the company's billionaire founder, Jeff Bezos himself. Its reusability reduces the general cost of space travel to minimum cost.
Blue Moon: It is a lunar lander intended to fulfill humanity's curiosity about being present on the moon.
At the moment Space X run by Elon Musk has more flights and has more projects in comparison with Blue Origin which still experience setbacks and delays.
However, Blue Origin offers higher safety, cheaper cost, and lunar landing. Also, Blue Origin has more successfully test flights and escape system tests and its BE-4 engines are a breakthrough and already used in other rockets.
The space race is stiff with other players in the field include Lockheed Martin, Virgin Galactic and many more trying to alter the future of human development and history in outer space.
