Billionaire Jeff Bezos to unveil plans for moon presence, sources say

Billionaire entrepreneur Jeff Bezos, the founder of rocket company Blue Origin, will unveil plans on Thursday for missions to the moon tailored to the U.S. government’s renewed push to establish a lunar outpost in just five years, people familiar with the matter said.

Bezos, the world’s richest man and also chief executive and founder of Amazon.com, is scheduled to host a rare media event at 4 p.m. EDT (2000 GMT) in Washington to provide “an update on our progress and share our vision of going to space to benefit Earth,” Blue Origin said in an advisory.

Blue Origin spokeswoman Caitlin Dietrich did not respond to requests for comment.

Privately held Blue Origin, based in Kent, Washington, has been tight-lipped about its lunar strategy. But people familiar with the company’s plans, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Bezos is expected to lay out details on lunar missions and a lunar lander spacecraft that the company is developing. Blue has also discussed a human outpost on the moon.

He’s going to buy presents for the moon?

I didn’t know it was the moon’s birthday.

Hmmmmmm.....what should I get?.....

Maybe a gift card from Cabellas.....

Paraphrasing Barbara Bush, I think he’d be very happy on the moon. And I hope he’ll stay there.

No thanks - no food, no water, no beaches, no mountains, no golf courses. Life would be very, very boring. However, one might be finally able to dunk a basketball!

That's nice. Perfect candidate for pork barrels to nowhere. Instead of orbiting something, and in spite of a head start of years, all he's got is a methane-powered trampoline. Thanks Oldeconomybuyer.
