Amazon CEO to colonize space!

Sarah Perez on November 10th, 2004

AmazonDid you see this over yonder at MSNBC? The CEO of Amazon.com, Jeff Bezos, funded a company called Blue Origin, which is now a start-up in Seattle. There, engineers are
working to build low-cost vehicles that would send passengers into space for
short flights. Umm…low-cost? "Then you would proceed from there to other steps, such as perhaps orbital space flights," he says. I’m not so sure about the low-cost part, but still, cool! It’s hard to believe that space tourism may become a reality in our lifetime. Would you go? How much would you pay for that experience? I’m not sure if I could handle it, what with the anti-gravity and all. I’m not even so good on roller coasters anymore. However, it would be an unforgettable experience, and quite possibly worth the nausea it would induce. Now, if we could just get the transporters and tractor beams working, we would be all set! (Oh yeah, and figure out how to travel at the speed of light).

  1. There’s obviously a dot-com space race heating up; Google is also priming itself for lunar exploitation.

  2. Not that this has anything to do with space, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
