Bezos In Space
from the go-go-Bezos-go dept
theodp writes "Newsweek reports that CEO Jeff Bezos is getting into the space business, surreptitiously recruiting a stable of rocketeers that includes physicists, ex-NASA scientists, veterans of failed space start-ups and even sci-fi writer Neal Stephenson, with the goal of building and launching a reusable space vehicle into suborbital space, with seven tourists onboard, in the next few years. Hope it's safer than helicopter travel. "
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
