I applaud the effort, but I don’t think modern, liberal America has the stomach for this kind of expedition.

The first fatality will cause mass bed wetting, and result in law suits that will shut down the company.

Because Blue Origin gets an unlimited supply of money from Bezos, they lack urgency.

A private enterprise will insulate itself from a lot of the problems you mention. The problem I foresee is what happens when out-of-control corporations claim the moon and then Mars for themselves, if they get there first?

Bezos is also not trying to run an auto company and/or bore tunnels through the fractured basement rock of California.

The only way they can get there in 5 years is a one way trip.

Jeff had best get something like moonbase Alpha’s Eagles built for that delivery schedule.

Go to the moon. Make that your headquarters. All revenues are delivered electronically to the moon. So there is no revenue on the earth. Just expenses.

No tax ever.
