The duo boldly declared that Orbital Reef will be the premier commercial destination in low Earth orbit.
I envision Bezos turning the station into a private fiefdom that hell rule like an emperor.
Hell controlthe media,workforce,entertainment, andcommercein the territory.
Bezos firm is getting substantial support for the project.
Blue Origincould probably do with all the help it can get.
The company still hasnt launched an orbital rocket, let alone an orbital space station.
This was an error.
Elon Musk recently overtook Bezos to reclaim the title of worlds richest person.
The error has now been corrected.
We apologize profusely to Musk for the oversight, and offer our sincere condolences to Bezos.
