Bezos Lightyear

Jeff Bezos is an Entrepreneur. He started Amazon.com in his basement. He recently bought The Washington Post for $250 Million… In cash. He started online customer reviews and email verification codes. He is pretty brilliant.

Jeff Bezos started Blue Origin in 2000, a company dedicated to providing space travel for humans at a affordable cost and increased reliability. Jeff Bezos has a fascination with space travel, as do I. I have been waiting for the day where humans can  holiday in space. And reading about Jeff’s company I feel like it might be available in my life time. His goal is to help enable “anybody to go to space”. He has visions of space hotels, amusement parks and colonies for 2 or 3 million people orbiting Earth.

You may say that he’s a dreamer, but he is not the only one.

I am sosososo excited by this. How amazing would it be to look out your hotel room window and see Earth? To look down upon this huge floating, rotating rock where billions of people conduct everyday lives. Like looking at a map but in real life. I can’t get my head around it but it would be fascinating. I really hope it happens. When I was in primary school I wanted to live on Mars. Although now that sounds scary and lonely.

Jeff Bezos’ ideas all sound very design-fictiony.
