Blue Origin for several years has actually been flying visitors and study to the side of room on brief tours, consisting of Bezos himself. The business’s jobs get to from rockets and spacecraft to spaceport station and lunar landers. Its following significant turning point is to release the towering New Glenn rocket to orbit, which Bezos stated the business is “very, very close” to trying.
Bezos matched SpaceX as “very good competitors” in the room market. Similar to OpenAI CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER Sam Altman previously in the day, Bezos kept in mind that he’s not worried concerning Musk’s close connection with President- choose Donald Trump.
“I take it face value what has been said … [that Elon Musk] is not going to use his political power to advantage his own companies or to disadvantage his competitors,” Bezos stated.
