Blue Origin is key to Amazon's ability to compete with SpaceX Starlink. Jeff Bezos has finally done it. He's finally reached space with an honest-to-goodness orbital-class rocket. Ten years ago, Bezos ignited a feud with SpaceX founder Elon Musk when his Blue Origin rocket company launched a suborbital New Shepard rocket to the edge of space and then landed it back on Earth.

One of the key questions about Blue Origin is whether it will push toward full reusability with New Glenn. In 2021, Ars first reported on an effort codenamed "Project Jarvis" to develop a stainless steel upper stage that could be reused. The company even built a test tank, although the effort was eventually shelved.

While Jeff Bezos has spent $14 billion to achieve his first space launch, his billionaire rival has built a thriving business, mostly with other people’s money.

The mission, known as NS-29, is scheduled to lift off from Blue Origin's West Texas launch site on Tuesday (Jan. 28) at 11 a.m. EST (1600 GMT; 10 a.m. local Texas time). The company, which was founded by Amazon's Jeff Bezos, will webcast the action live ...

Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos had 'prime seats' at the president's inauguration. What are they looking to gain from Trump 2.0?

Exclusive: The pentagon thinks space may be the next battleground, declaring in a sobering new report that it could be the ‘decisive domain' for any future conflict between existing and emerging super

In his first term, Trump instituted special investigations against Amazon and its owner. Bezos bought The Post for $250 million. The joke in Washington circles then was that it cost him 10 and a quarter billion dollars; he was soon denied a $10bn cloud services contract renewal bid for the US army.
