Jeff Bezos wants to build a space station called the 'Orbital Reef'

Don't worry about our reefs on earth, Jeffy. They'll sort themselves out.

What's the key learning?

  • Jeff Bezos' space company Blue Origin is planning to launch a space station in the second-half of the decade called 'Orbital Reef'
  • Historically, we've only really ever operated within the space-for-earth economy and the space-for-space economy
  • Now, thanks to Elon Musk's SpaceX and Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin, we could be about to enter the earth-for-space economy.

Background: Jeff Bezos is one of the world's richest men thanks to Amazon. But he also founded another company, Blue Origin, all the way back in 2000.

What happened: Blue Origin is Jeffy B's private aerospace manufacturer and spaceflight services company. Try saying that 10 times. Blue Origin's goal is to help humanity expand and explore new energy sources. Some real Interstellar stuff.

What else: Blue Origin has revealed plans to launch a space station in the second-half of the decade. It will be called 'Orbital Reef', and be used as a business park in space. 

So what's the key learning? 

💡The commercialisation of space is well and truly here, folks.

💡Historically, we've only really ever operated within the:

  • Space-for-earth economy (aka goods or services produced in space for uses on earth... like satellites).
  • Space-for-space economy (aka making goods in space for use in space).

💡But now, thanks to Elon Musk's SpaceX, we could be sending large numbers of private travellers into space...and with Blue Origin, we could be about to build and operate space infrastructure in space. So we could be entering the earth-for-space economy.
