The Final Frontier

Well...Maybe

Amazon.com Founder Bezos Wants to Colonize Space

Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos expects a rocket-ship complex for his
aerospace venture Blue Origin to open early next year.

City records show that an office and warehouse he's revamping in this south Seattle suburb will be used to design and build spacecraft and engines.

Blue Origin has released few details about the project. But a Texas newspaper editor who interviewed Bezos earlier this year said the billionaire talked sending a
spaceship into orbit that launches and lands vertically, like a rocket, and eventually building spaceships that can orbit the Earth - possibly leading to permanent colonies in space.

Is it just me or do they keep reinventing the same old not too terrific wheel with this stuff?

I mean, I keep waiting for something really cool like anti-gravity to come along, but all I ever see is another tube with explosives in the base.

I'm ready for something cool guys.
