Cheap Space Travel

Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, is latest in a line of billionaires who thinks we should all be able to space travel. This week, one of his side projects, Blue Origin, announced the launch of their rocket. he says, "We're working, patiently and step-by-step, to lower the cost of spaceflight so that many people can afford to go and so that we humans can better continue exploring the solar system. Accomplishing this mission will take a long time, and we're working on it methodically."

Chech out the test launch and job openings after the jump!

Time's Man of the Year for 1999, Bezos' Blue Origin is actively hiring. They are looking for for experienced propulsion engineers and experienced turbomachinery engineers, as well as a senior leader to head our turbopump group. Folks with turbopump or propulsion experience on large, modern, cryogenic engines such as the RS-68 are of particular interest. Huh? Anyway, email the head of HR here.
