Jeff Bezos Has Super Secret Space Plans
I'd been sucked in by Richard Branson's dog-and-pony show
regarding Virgin Galactic but meanwhile Amazon.com founder Jeff
Bezos has been planning his own space lair for his aerospace company, Blue Origin. According to this AP story, Bezos recently bought a 165,000 acre ranch in West Texas that he
plans to use for test launches and that will eventually be the home of his spaceport. There aren't a lot of details yet
but Bezos is somewhat interested in space tourism but is aiming at building ships to orbit earth creating permanent
space colonies. Blue Origin has designed a ship that will take off vertically and carry three passengers.[via AV Web]
