Jeff Bezos and his Blue Origin space company are literally shooting for the moon it appears. Blue Origin’s business development director recently laid out a plan to land a human on the moon by 2023 and then expand their capability from there and put permanent settlements on the moon. As a matter of fact he stated the company was already working on they descent stage for a landing. However, this is pretty aggressive since they haven’t even launched a manned spacecraft into orbit yet. Regardless, I hope they succeed and bring SpaceX and others with them.



Blue Origin’s business development director, A.C. Charania, said the company’s Blue Moon program is “our first step to developing a lunar landing capability for the country, for other customers internationally, to be able to land multi metric tons on the lunar surface.”
