On May 9, 2019, our founder discussed his vision to go to space for the benefit of Earth.
In addition, he also announced the Blue Moon lunar lander, which is capable of taking people and payloads to the lunar surface. Below you’ll find more information about these announcements.
Blue Moon lunar lander: Blue Origin announced Blue Moon, its large lunar lander capable of delivering multiple metric tons of payload to the lunar surface based on configuration and mission. The cargo variant revealed today can carry 3.6 metric tons to the surface. We have also designed a variant of the lander that can stretch to be capable of carrying a 6.5-metric-ton, human-rated ascent stage. Blue also announced it can meet the current Administration's goal of putting Americans on the Moon by 2024 with the Blue Moon lunar lander.
BE-7 engine: The Blue Moon lunar lander will be powered by the BE-7 engine, a new addition to Blue Origin’s family of engines. The BE-7’s 40 kN (10,000 lbf) thrust is designed for large lunar payload transport. The engine’s propellants are a highly-efficient combination of liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen. The BE-7 will have its first hotfire this summer. The engine will be available for sale to other companies for use in in-space and lander applications.
Club For the Future: A non-profit founded by Blue Origin dedicated to inspiring and engaging the next generation of dreamers and space entrepreneurs as we journey to preserve Earth and unlock the potential of living and working in space. The Club will bring together K-12 students, educators and leaders for campaigns and initiatives utilizing Blue Origin’s unique access to space. The Club’s first activity will be to send a postcard to space and back on a future New Shepard mission-the first ever space mail. Learn more on the website (www.clubforfuture.org). Follow @ClubforFuture on Twitter and Instagram.
How cool is it to think about some future student from the year 2100, watching this presentation, somewhere in space?
Secular Guy no
@Phil Fry Musk wants to put a million people on Mars by 2100. I'm sure cities in earth orbit will be a thing by then as well since you have to build large refueling stations anyways. Leaving earth every 2 years with a giant fleet you dont want to refuel them 1 by 1 with launches. You want to spend the two years to refuel a station. You just have to figure out the storage problem.
@Phil Fry u underestimate the rate of current progression in the information age... i wouldn't be surprised if there's private space trips for wealthy by 2040. in fact, i'd bet you on that. Elon musk just announced his prototype starship like 2 days ago. The final version will be used to go to the mars/moon. He plans on putting it in orbit in as little as 6months, and hopefully have people flying in it by next year.
That is, if we can even stay outside of Earth.
Bezos is the tued of humanity 😈
But will there be Prime Delivery to these colonies?
You know there will
didn't you know that, amazon is everywhere.
Prime-Snail Delivery ;-) .
hahaha.. Now, that's funny. Funny, cause its a valid question at some point in the distant future.
That’s why he’s going to space. To expand Amazon
Imagine if him and Elon teamed up... But on another note, that suit is fresh af my guy.
Yep, we would have 2X the science fiction BS 😑
questioneverything lemme guess, u think the earth is flat? Piss off.
@@DieselDick03 Let me guess you think you live on a spinning ball, with Tesla roadsters orbiting in space. " You know its real, because it looks so fake!" Pseudo science has indoctrinated you with science fiction! The earth is observably, and measurably a plane.
@@dmahar58 I hope u r joking
Why would Elon want to team up with Bezos? Blue Origin hasn't done anything and SpaceX has and is doing everything! Bezos is more like competing with Brniff's Virgin Galactic.
I've always been a huge SpaceX fan, and I like them as a company more because of the way that they handle PR and interact with the public. That said I think it looks like Blue Origin has the better plan. They are taking this at the right pace, and they are making good business decisions at all turns. I love SpaceX, and I believe that they will be the ones to open the space frontier and take us to mars, but I think Blue Origin will be the company that *truly* changes our culture as we know it.
I believe it too.
so you think make O'Neil cylinder much better than possible teraforming a planet? you know i believe in jeff, but it is elon version of colonizing space is much inspiring. He just not solving problem but what his doing is more adventure.. rather solving a single planet but a moving planet not just in this solar system but in other star system... that was more incredible.. tha creating a space infrastructure..
@@mujahidacmad6196 Terraforming mars is a pipe dream scientifically. You may be able to do so short-term but the atmosphere WILL bleed off and you will need to create a global magnetic shield due to the lack of an active core. So yes, O'Neils are more realistic for the time being.
Elon Musk is a straight up lunatic yet he has so much power because our government keeps shoveling him money
When the first cars were created only the wealthy could afford them, now everyone has one. When the first commercial flights took off only the wealthy could afford them, now most can afford a flight. When the first computers were built only the wealthy could afford them, now they are in all of our pockets. When the first electric car was built only the wealthy could afford them, within a few decade they will be your only option. When the first paying customers went to space it was for the wealthy, we are at the beginning of that phase in our development, tomorrow it will be commonplace and taken for granted because of pioneers like these who have the motivation and the means to make it happen, and there will still be those who don't believe that progress is inevitable. 'If you don't believe that we can change the world, it just means that you are not one of those that will' - Jaques Fresco. This is an amazing time to be alive and if you focus on endeavors like this, supporting it rather than trying to belittle it, it will only get better.
But just like cars, most people need loans to afford then
@@gregorflopinski9016 if that were me I would take out a car equivalent loan to travel in space, and I'm against borrowing anything. An average middle class person can afford a car, a flight etc, today in cash, in the early years that was impossible for everyone but the rich. Yes not everyone on earth will be able to afford it right away, or at all, but we shouldn't wait until everyone can afford it before we proceed, we have to proceed first to absorb resources from the wealthy, in order to reduce the price so that more people can do what every generation before us could only dream of. Imagine if traveling to space was only a loan away..
thanks for the optimism so much anti this or that or trying to poke holes in a plan that has been iterated upon for decades that Jeff only brushed over.
Lol the whole reason there's a middle class at all is due to unionization, philanthropy, and redistributed tax wealth. Henry Ford paid his employees a living wage, but Bezos makes his employees sweat for scraps. I can't afford a car because I made the mistake of earning an education in America, where the rich have captured the government, dodged taxes, and reduced govt spending on vital programs. I'll be punished for 20 years with student debt. Meanwhile, this asshole doesn't even pay federal taxes. TAX THE RICH
Agree with this
11:25 What happens when unlimited demand meets finite resources? Me: Thanos
Bezos: what happens when unlimited demand meets finite resources? Me: *puts nerd glasses on* Amazon... In space? 😃
Hahahahaha its amazing seeing this , I love this
They could use asteroids, meteors, etc, I forget which is which meteor or meteorite, but hey would collect these from rocks from space, reducing people doesn’t help
If you only knew. And maybe you do....
Operation British
Humans are born explorers, it's great to see we are exploring again. I wish you all the very best. The entire human race needs this not only for a better future for all Earth species, but for our survival.
People might have criticise him but he is truly and a visionary one and truly inspiring.
I love how dark the stage is. Very efficient for my AMOLED display.

*Finally.* Someone with a case for space that shows the environmental benefits of human space exploration!
@Charles Yuditsky This is true, but it is there. We have the technology. However I'm not sure if we have ever tested it on another body before.
@Charles Yuditsky That--how to extract the lunar water--was figured out decades ago by industrial engineers such as Neil P. Ruzic, as he described in his 1970 (non-SF) book of projected future lunar history, titled "Where the Winds Sleep," and his 1965 book "The Case For Going to the Moon."

Good luck Blue Origin ! Your success is important to all humanity.
So inspiring! Also a deceptively large amount of information packed into this presentation. Well done Jeff!
"Deceptively large amount of information." You got that right 👍 Science Fiction for the clueless!
*Also deceptively large amount of information left out of this presentation* there I fixed it for you lol
Jeff will build the first O'Neill cylinder and name it New O'Neill.
Now that would be cool:-)

Jeff is lifting things into space, today is the future. Sci-fi is becoming reality. But he still says pounds.
I worked at a factory, and one of the engineers would reply over the phone to British customers with something about how we got to the moon with lbs when they would make fun of us.

Jeff, please go on Joe Rogan's podcast! Congratulations on Blue Moon we are so stoked!
Who is Joe rogan?
dude, Nathan I love listening to JRE podcasts and Jeff would be a great guest... one of his latest episodes with Jamie Metzl was very interesting as well, not space related but futuristic in nature.
Yawn.
So that also he can smoke weed with Joeii! :D
Drink some Blue Moon with Joe lol
How can anybody disagree with the fact that we need some fantastic goals to aim for. At the very least, we, as a species, need an off-world repository of science and learning, to act as a backup should something dreadful befall our way of life. Plato foresaw the difficulties that we would face when population thresholds were reached, but he new that humans would rise to the challenge.
So many people genuinely do. I don't understand it.
No one can, really. But we all must try. Organizing our Priorities is our greatest tool if we are able to survive. You don't put down a weapon to use it for later if a threat is charging your position. You use your weapon first, and then act out your safekeeping practice. Just as we do not put off threatening and facing problems of today's world to invest in our space faring future. You solve your most threatening issues first, and then advance your future.
Can't wait to find new forms of life to go fuck with, am I right my monkeys!?
There are plenty of people / organizations / government agencies that are working on our *most pressing problems*; I am glad there are some individuals and companies who are willing to put their efforts into attempting to solve the long-term problems. Thank you and good luck, Mr. Musk and Mr. Bezos (to name a couple).
Check out Issac Arthur's channel for more visions of that kind of future.
I’ve come back to watch this video multiple times, incredibly inspiring
Loved your inclusion of those students. Best of luck and wish great success for the future! 👍✊️✌️
Everyone needs to chill out with the hate, yes their are other problems he could be fixing, but he has no obligation to fix anything and yet he still decides to devote so much money into building infrastructure for others to use. He said in the presentation that their are more short term problems that need help, but the long term ones are even harder to fix so we should start working on them now. How anyone can disparage a man trying to help humanity is beyond me
Hayden Macfarlane, agreed. I’m curious what the people hating are doing to help humanity? They are probably just complaining that they don’t have the resources to help, but that’s just a copout. There will undoubtedly be new billionaires so if it’s important to you then make it your life’s goal to earn the money and spend it as you see fit. Space enthusiasts and environmentalists should be ecstatic that we have billionaires willing to spend their vast fortunes on our future.
True, but lets face it, as soon as commercialization and industrialization of space begins - all major launch operators, space mining and space energy companies etc - will become so insanely rich any present day tech giant will pale in comparison. So I'm sure eventually Blue Origin will be much bigger than Amazon, and Jeff will one day say something along the lines of: "I used some money I made with this little startup of mine called Amazon, to start my Blue Origin empire" :D
Other problems he could fix??? [He] are kidding...
I do agree at least he is leading our future generations and providing a viable pathway for humans in the future of space. Very honorable and a hard thing to do and no one in their right mind would stop that. But that is it, these kids don't have a chance for space industry and Jeff's desires if the most facing problems are not solved to begin with. The order is backwards. Each of us assumes someone esle will solve the most facing problems. As we know, solving the most urgent problems today is not very profitable. Recycling is not, cleaning up the waste already there is not, populations issues are not, drinking-water is hard, clearing atmospheric pollution is not, and meteorite protection is not at all. We need every help we can get on these problems and anyone making the problems harder for the rest of us, diverting efforts, money, and our possibly little time is not helping our chances of survival and you and I both know that. Space and being multi planetary will come in time, but if and only if we survive on Earth. We must solve our problems in the order of urgency and the level of threat regardless of the future benefits, and probably even if the future benefits helps our future survival.
Hayden Macfarlane these people with the hate can only look 15 seconds in front of them. They do not understand if they want to save the planet they are going to need to wipe out most of the population. The problem with the earth is humans, in the next 50 years the population will double, how are they going to feed, water and house those people. People hating are utter idiots with no answer than to hate and say spend the money on the earth’. That’s the idiots response because they have none. Absolute idiots!
I like the refreshing sense of humility in referring to the Moon as a gift.
It was a gift if you consider something 1/3 of the size of mars smashing into the earth and releasing a giant blob of magma into space :P That day was arguably the most catastrophic day in earths history
After comparing each company's plans for civilian space travel, I'm willing to bet that Blue Origin will end up being more profitable because of their vision to actually colonize and inhabit space, not Mars.
It tremendously inspired me! It's amazing. I want to live and being a part of this big project. Not in Blue Moon, but in general. I'm totally agree with the idea, that Big things start small.
Incredibly inspiring! I actually teared up at the end of the presentation because I have many concerns about the future of this big blue marble called Earth and all of its creatures. This gives me some hope and a whole new respect for the richest man in the world!
Someone has been watching Isaac Arthur vids lol.
But not enough Isaac Arthur vids😄
There are never enough Isaac Arthur videos
Do us all a favor and shut up Friday okey (:
@FridayGood obvious troll is obvious
Thanks Jeff for bringing these important problems/solutions to light, we need everyone working on this! We can each play a part, this is a huge undertaking, essentially building planets.
good point... we should all do what we can to help make this happen... form clubs.. spread the word... write congress
I'm still young and hope that one day I can participate in this exciting vision of our human presence in space. Thank you Jeff, you just put in words what I've been thinking for so long! Viva Blue Origin!
I bought the ebook The High Frontier: Human Colonies in Space by professor Gerard O'neill. My understanding is that the author makes a detailed case for why life in space could be an incredible outcome for humanity. I'm a millennial/gen-Z but I'm super stoked to appreciate the optimism that surrounded people's visions of the future back in the day. We could do with a bit of old fashioned futurism right about now. Thanks for resetting the vision, Jeff. I get it.
Jeff Bezos: "How are we going to build these O'neill colonies? Nobody knows." Me: "Isaac Arthur knows."
Isaac Arthur is literally living millennia ahead of his time .
Bezos has the right idea (more Earth like solution, and it has 1G). Musk has the conviction (he actually plans to get things moving in his lifetime). Now imagine if Bezos and Musk had a lovechild (not too vividly).
*"Earth will be zoned"* I understand. Thank you.

Ok blue origin is much more interesting than i thought, i love how space x and blue origin each strive for different end goals yet both of them agree on so much on what's important to make it work, i think they both couldn't ask for better rivals as far as space lunches go. It's like the Apple and Microsoft of space. Both started "small" with radical ideas and stuff that seem low tech by todays standards, imagine in the future showing new Glenn and the Starship and saying "this is all we had back then"
Thanks Jeff for giving back to humanity by sharing both your wealth and vision in such an exciting venture!
This is just simply cool
Bezos is a copy cat, even doing same presentation, LOL SPACEX WILL BURN YOU BO
At the time at least...
@@shooterguitari328 Bezos was actually planning on doing this type of space exploration stuff when he was a teenager in high school, long before Elon Musk was planning on doing this. Elon started later than Jeff but Elon was very aggressive in taking risks (Elon traveled to Russia and he reached out to the Russians for help) and this is why Elon progressed much more rapidly than Jeff Bezos did in terms of getting into orbit and getting to the international space station first.
The more smart people we have working on the future, the better. This is very exciting! I hope more people get optimistic of the future like it was years ago.
Intriguing,... The Asimov interview is 5 years after Ringworld was published, and about 40 years after the first mention of a Dyson Sphere type concept. Ambitious, it'll be interesting to see if they can pull it off, and the competition it'll create with US and International space program providers will be good for everyone.
This idea ( look at the size of this thing we are talking centuries from Now me , you, our Great Grandchildren won't live to see this thing if ever) its actually easier to colonize Mars then build these Huge Artificial Planets.
@@AlbertoMartinez765 I'd bet on the Moon's of the Gas Giants being next after our Moon and Mars.
Yeah, I noticed that, too. I should note Asimov was a serious egomaniac ~ yes, I am a fan of his, so don't sweat ~ and you'll note he really only refers to himself and his own thought process. Not a word about Ringworld, yet surely he knew about the book, and had perhaps even read it, though I doubt that.
Rendezvous with Rama was published in 1973. I'm not sure I'd fault Asimov for missing Clarke's story there in 1975.

Jeff who?
Oh look, another "hold my beer." comment.
Why are everybody criticizing him? This is amazing, why does it have to be "vs", and not "together".
Perhaps of J B taking a piss at everybody else. “Fake reuse ability”. Get out of here. Until BO constructs a gets a rocket to orbit and back. Please don’t stab everyone else. Love the vision. But his tone is terrible.
@@Spelpojken He is not stabbing anyone....he is just stating facts. Perhaps the reuse efficiency of SpaceX will increase as well as their number of times for rocket reuse and the cost to refurbish, but right now Jeff is simply speaking facts.
dbreardon reusing part of a rocket, is not fake reusability.
Rico Melchert, I caught that tone, too, but Elon is a big boy and he hasn’t done anything to help squelch their rivalry. I’m a fan of all these space companies though. Regardless, a healthy competition between these two will pay dividends to our entire species.
Because funding for space exploration and manned spaceflight is very limited and this plan A) does away with the goal of colonization of other planets - in favor of staying near Earth in large space stations & on the Moon & B) might cut off the only other company seriously pushing for Mars - by inserting this Moon lander in between. If Bezos was aiming for the colonization of other planets as well this wouldn't be an issue at all. But he isn't. In this very video he states twice how much he is opposed to the idea. And yet it's him who has all the money to fund his vision while SpaceX can't even fully fund Starship. If this gets between them then SpaceX might not be able to continue.
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite store on the Citadel!
Excellent to hear such a positive out look and dream for space.
Blah blah blah idiot
If anyone can do it, the richest man in the world can. Wish you luck Jeff but I hope this vision is shared and not horded.
The beauty of capitalism is that the vision can't be horded. Jeff got rich because he provided enough value to people to make them chose to give him money. Not because he's hording cash. Also, he's already got a bunch of competitors that will bring space to the masses if he doesn't so we're good either way.

🤣
Every time I see these sort of images of an O'Neil ring, or Niven Ring, or any sort of massive structure like that, all I can think of is what happens to all that open space and exposed structres in the event of a hull breach. Easiest way is to just have houses, buildings, and such be their own pressure vessels for an emergency, with separated sections with relatively small openings between that can be closed, but you're still writing off massive areas and everyone exposed in them if there's any hole or impact bigger than a meter or so.
More should watch this. It isnt current, but the info is useful.
im all tears, amazing talk
what a wonderful vision for the future which along with the other space agencies and private company's is sure to teach man much about living and working in space and low g environments. build the road.
A very good presentation overall. I'm not a big BO follower but this is a positive step in selling the concept of space travel to the public. If only they would be more open about these events, more people should see this than just nerds like me.
The one thing I love about this guy is his command of facts and statistics. It would be nice if they were able to start launching New Glenn earlier than 2021 so they can move forward at a faster pace. 453 seconds of specific impulse is amazing on the 10K lb thrust new engine.
I'm curious as to if the New Glenn 2nd stag or the Blue Moon will be making the TLI burn.
Me too, New Glenn is going to be able to loft around 8-10 tonnes to the moon (iirc), and seeing as BO is saying they could take between 3.6 and 6.5 tonnes of cargo, I'm assuming that they are probably going to use the second stage.
I think they will use the 3-stage version for going to the moon. So the third stage will make the TLI, and maybe also the LOI.
fs2728, good points. I agree with you.
fs2728 3rd stage variant has been cancelled
It will use the second stage without a doubt. The blue moon most likely does not have enough Delta V for a TLI burn and a landing with usable payload.
I just want to be alive to see this and live there even for a month before I die
Imagine if your grandkids can take a day trip to a playground in space where they can just fly!
Awesome! Love the space race we see today between these titans of industry.
Blue Moon lost against Space X for the NASA contract for a lander on the moon, so at this point he is down to New Glenn and hoping for New Sheppard to bring some money for his company.
In order for BO to be in a race they must first get to orbit. They are a long ways off at this point.
Thanks Jeff. Keep up the good work. Ill keep my eye out for my moon tickets on Amazon!
You will be waiting a long time I think.

I'm not going to lie, I've been a little standoff-ish about this for much of the presentation but I did find it inspiring for him to say that our generation will build the infrastructure but our grand kids and children will use it.
He will charge arm and a leg for that privilege. It wont be cheap or free.
2021 is ticking down... Please don't give up
The blue moon introduction was lit af
I've got to get those shoes! I hope I can find them on Amazon 👍🏿
$19.99 on sale right now
These shoes probably cost more than your monthly salary😭😭😭
@@themisdoukakis9261 yeah I would probably want the knockoff versions, those are probably the top grade leather and I'll be happy with pleather
There was a time when we didn't even have one serious player ready to democratize access to space. We could only dream about it. Now we have two. It's a blessing.
Alex >Amazon >democratize PICK ONE 👌🏻
This talk hits harder than psychedelic drugs ringing with truth about science so deep & resonating that its like hearing about the future from the future. An amazing talk!
Fantastic, can't wait to work for Jeff, in space.
We need to work on an Autonomous Self-Replicating Industry. It could be huge excavators, surveyors, loaders, haulers, crushers, seperators, smelters, mold casters, part casters, grinders, assemblers, 3D printers, molecular manufactutures, etc. Each self-driving equipment can be powered by 1MW thorium reactors. They wouldn't be able to self-replicate individually but if they work together they could build more of themselves to increase their industrial capacity. I was looking at construction equipment and a lot of the ones I listed are already available in mobile form. We might not have general AI yet but we could build expert software to control everything. I think it's great Elon and Jeff are shaking things up and inspiring and pushing to reduce cost but we need someone working on the other gate!
Fractal Federation no
I agree. Only when we're capable of complete autonomous production will we see major advances with space exploration.
I want to be a part of moving heavy industry to space
Seguro que hay alguien que viene por Un Poco De Todo :)
No, yo vine por mi cuenta, pero bueno 32 personas si
You could use momentum engines to get to space? I have a design, you place tubes around a spinning wheel with heavy rods inside the tubes that can slide in and out, then surround the wheel with magnets in the shape of a horse shoe, when the wheel spins the rods fly out but only on the open part causing a constant shift of weight in a forward direction.
Simple things in life that sustains a mind like a ballpoint pen. Thank you!
Really cool and inspiring conference. Good luck Blue Origin!
MayuriK, I’m glad I’m not the only person that thinks this is really awesome!
@@anthonydomanico8274 Yes, it's natural if you love space exploration. I prefer SpaceX than BlueOrigin, but i'm always happy when a company announce new rockets and projects. I see a lot of comments of users that seem haters of Blue Origin, they are not real space exploration fans.
@@MayuriK_itProblem with Bezos is that he isn't genuine. He tried to patent a water landing. Good thing Elon stop that sh%t. I wonder what he is going to try to patent...He also seem to love to copy Elon's quotes too...
That didn´t age well... It is 2021 and: 1) New Shepard has not yet flown with humans on board 2) New Glenn will not fly in 2021 and only mockup parts exist 3) NASA has chosen to use Spacex´s Starship as their Human Landing System, ditching BO´s lunar lander in the process
Like the vision. A repeat of much of what we have heard, but a different approach, and a good one. I hope they both succeed, and fast!
Space is so magical. I cant get enough. I have videos in a playlist on repeat. Even watch it sometimes and listen to music I like imagine me travel the space fast feel driving the racing car with rokk music deltaparole tool foofighters nirvana and other.
Same
15:35 I'm pretty sure Jeff hasn't put a calculator on hauling all that dirt into orbit. lol.
Your problem with that image is the dirt? The dirt comes from the Moon, which you can launch from there with a fart. What about the non existing materials required to keep that thing together and to withstand / self-repair damage? If something big enough pierces that habitat, your air is gone forever. You'd need back up air for the whole population. and if that fails, _everyone_ is dead. I'm convinced the firsts habitats will be on the moon where we will have at first enough water and caves to store all the backup air we'll need. There we will learn how to survive atmospheric accidents, and _then_ we can go orbital.
Getting dirt is easy. You have to ship up food for a very long time. You compost the waste from the astronauts, and voila, you have dirt...
@@DamianReloaded from a huge space habitat, air doesn't leak as quickly as you probably imagine
At 23:20 he mentions it is vital to NOT haul all that dirt into orbit. There is plenty of stuff into orbit already, you just need to haul what you need to turn it into fertile soil, water, building materials, etc.
@@nikolatasev4948 The Moon is full of dirt and you can launch it to LEO for "free". No need to haul anything and the provision will be constant and as fast as you can load the mass driver.
It's happening fast, however, imagine if Space X and Blue Origin combined their resources and expertise.
@@RyuFitzgerald Thanks
No that's a bad competition breeds innovation if we combine it will be bad
Very Well Conducted. Great Job Jeff!
This never get's old
Watching this after he announced he would step down as CEO of amazon. EXITING AS FUCK. He is going full speed ahead for the Road to space!
cant advance space activities if you patent everything
yea that was a dick move. I wish Blue Origin all the luck in the world and is excited to see what they'll do, but that was a dick move :P.
@@r33c3spices9 why not? The more people working on this the better
@@r33c3spices9 Well, China doesn't give a fuck about what you want or not want them to do :P. The thing is that in hindsight, it was a dick move as they lost the patent claim thingy. I can dictate what is right and what is wrong because I am a moral being.
You can't get investors if you don't.
@@digitalnomad9985 Then how did SpaceX get investors? Also, Blue Origin doesn't even need investors, they have Jeff.
What about midway relay stations for communications? Put antennas at certain points to relay and boost the transmission.
Sign me up!! I would love to commit the next few decades of my life to helping to make this happen.
Good Presentation actually
Beautiful vision. *Make it happen Sir Bezos !* We have very beautiful nature and animals on our planet. We can set a mission to export nature to other planets. That would be a very meaningful mission for humanity, because helping our nature to spread to other planets is like helping our mother to do her housework :-) Let's see if we ever grow a forest on Mars or the Moon.
Jeff Bezos is going at a snail's pace while elon musk has actually been accomplishing what he promised
@Friday Goood I do support Jeff Bezos but he has taken two decades to make rockets and all he has to show for it is his new sheperd. While Elon has had almost the same amount of time but has his Falcon 9 rocket and his Falcon heavy, and is working on the starship and has been having major success.
@Friday Goood I'm just saying Elon has actually accomplished a lot of stuff. But I still support Jeff Bezos, I think both of there visions for the future are great
@FridayGood SpaceX is moving faster than BO, you can’t deny that. I don’t say BO is the worst, but it doesn’t seem like Bezos is putting his whole life to space technology.
@FridayGood Right now, if I talk about Jeff, Im talking about BO and if i say Elon its about spacex. and i do think BO is a little too slow and steady with their things. They might not be ready with the New Glenn by 2024 if the only thing they do is test the New Shepherd. They should start testing out the New Glenn Parts if they want to go to the moon.
Jeff seems like a great guy. I hope all these private space companies do achieve their goals of being the start of a space faring future
So do I. I was wrong about Jeff too. He seems dope, like Gates and Musk.
There’s a pattern here too. All the best people are heavily demonised by the herd 🤨…. It’s almost like the rise of herd morality….
Damn!!! This is guy is so visionary!!!! The way he speaks. Amazing!!!!
