Jeff Bezos

#23 on the LR 100

After successfully launching rockets and astronauts from his 165,000-acre CORN RANCH in Far West Texas, Jeff Bezos is now turning his attention 240,000 miles into space. Bezos’s Blue Origin aerospace company has entered into an agreement with NASA to assist with the development and flight of a manned lunar lander that can touch down anywhere on the moon’s surface. One of the priorities for Blue Origin is to produce a storable propellent that will improve performance for such high-energy, deep- space missions. The goal is to develop solar-powered cryocoolers and other technologies to prevent boil-off of the liquid oxygen fuel and liquid-hydrogen oxidizer. Blue Origin will be working on the project with a team of high-tech partners, including Boeing and Lockheed Martin.

Amazon’s founder and executive chair continues to use his ranchlands in Far West Texas to explore the fringes of the final frontier.

For the past decade, Bezos and his BLUE ORIGIN aerospace company have been launching rockets and people from Launch Site One, approximately 120 miles east of El Paso, north of the Texas town of Van Horn. The company’s 37th mission with its reusable New Shepard rocket system took place in December.

The crew for the latest mission included Michaela Benthaus, an aerospace and mechatronics engineer who suffered a spinal cord injury while mountain biking in 2018. She became the first person who uses a wheelchair to pass what is known as the Kármán line, an internationally recognized boundary of space that is 62 miles above Earth.

Others who have made the 11-minute journey past the Kármán line in a Blue Origin rocket over the years include actor William Shatner (who uttered the famous “Space, the final frontier” line from Star Trek), Laura Shepard Churchley (daughter of Alan Shepard, the first American astronaut in space, after whom the New Shepard is named), former NFLer and current Good Morning America host Michael Strahan, pop star Katy Perry, and Bezos himself.

In 2023, Blue Origin entered into an agreement with NASA to help develop and fly a manned lunar lander that can touch down anywhere on the moon’s surface. One of the priorities for Blue Origin is to produce a storable propellant that will improve performance for such high-energy, deep-space missions. Blue Origin is working on the project with high-tech partners such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin.
