Jeff Bezos is best known as Amazon’s founder. But he believes his most valuable company is Blue Origin.
His space project is only six years behind the online giant. However, it is not on the same level.
Blue Origin sees itself as the tortoise in the race against the hare.
The hare is so confident about winning it takes a nap. The tortoise is slow and steady and ends up victorious.
But if SpaceX is the hare in this story, there’s a twist. Because this hare definitely doesn't take a nap!
Thus, despite being 2 years later, Elon Musk's firm still beats Jeff's in every way!
From NASA’s $2.9 billion lunar lander contract to rockets, engines, and now, what SpaceX just did in Florida also makes Blue Origin afraid!!!
Why’s that?
All this and more in today's episode of the Alpha Tech!

Blue Origin leased Launch Complex 36 (LC-36) in Cape Canaveral, Florida in September 2015 to build a launch pad for their orbital launch vehicle New Glenn. 
Ground-breaking for the facility to begin construction occurred in June 2016. By March 2018, Blue's construction at LC-36 was lagging, but the company stated they did not think it would delay achieving the anticipated 2020 initial launch of New Glenn.
However, as of 2022, Blue Origin does not expect to launch New Glenn until 2023 at the earliest.
The Blue Origin orbital launch site will be situated on a total of 306 acres of leased land assembled from former Launch Complexes 11, 36A, and 36B. The land parcel will be used to build a rocket engine test stand for the BE-4 engine, a launch mount—called the Orbital Launch Site by Blue—and a reusable booster refurbishment facility for the New Glenn launch vehicle, which is expected to land on a seaborne platform and returned to Port Canaveral for refurbishment.
Space Florida’s Dale Ketcham called it a “monster” of a launch pad.
“It is going to be a beast,” Ketcham said.
But disappointingly, after 6 years, there are still a lot of unfinished parts here from Blue Origin.
