New Shepard is only the first step in fulfilling Blue Origin owner Jeff Bezos’ vision of using ever larger reusable rockets to send an entire economy into Earth orbit and beyond.
The Bezos space business plans follow the recent Elon Musk SpaceX statements regarding their intention to lob two paying customers around the Moon in late 2018 via the company’s Dragon 2 space capsule.
Following the Laureate Award presentations held at Washington’s National Building Museum on March 2, Bezos talked to Aviation Week & Space Technology Editor-in-Chief Joe Anselmo and the audience at the awards dinner about the importance of expanding into the solar system.
Bezos is also slated to speak during SATELLITE 2017, being held March 6-9 in Washington, D.C.
