Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos opened the doors of highly secret company Blue Origin's facilities to eleven journalists, in the city of Kent, Washington State. The entrepreneur who is also the owner of the Washington Post, confessed he has studied and had dreams of rockets since he was five.
'I'd never thought I'd be able to start a space company. The lottery ticket I won is called Amazon.com.'
Blue Origin is part of a shift of the space business from NASA and aerospace behemoths like Lockheed Martin toward private industry, especially smaller entrepreneurial companies. Space Exploration Technologies, or SpaceX, founded by another Internet entrepreneur, Elon Musk, has been the most visible and most successful of the new generation of rocket companies. Last Friday, it launched another satellite to orbit, but an attempt to land the booster on a floating platform again ended in an explosion.
Much more quietly, Blue Origin has also had big space dreams, but until now did not give outsiders a look at what it was doing.
How much Amazon.com lottery ticket is worth that journalists were not told.
