Tech Money > Space Biz
Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos wants to be more than the online mall rat - he dreams of being a spaceman and to do for space what Howard Hughes did for commercial aviation. Bezos has purchased about 25 acres of land in Kent, WA for $13M+ $8M more to make all systems go, says the Seattle Times. If all goes according to plan, the facility will open its doors early next year as a rocket design and testing facility.
Blue Origin's rocket will take off and land in a vertical position and will hold three passengers and it has 40 people on staff and it has about dozen job reqs open.
This would all be so cool, except that the new space race is packed full of tech money men. Among those that Bezo's Blue Origin will compete with are space ventures from Virgin's Richard Branson, Id Software's John Carmack, Paypal's Elon Musk and Microsoft's Paul Allen.
