Jeff Bezos, founder of Blue Origin, expressed optimism about the U.S. space agenda under President-elect Donald Trump, dismissing concerns that SpaceX CEO Elon Musk might leverage his ties with Trump for personal gain.
“Elon has been clear he’s doing this for the public interest, not personal benefit. I take him at face value,” Bezos said in an interview during Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket debut in Cape Canaveral. The 30-story rocket aims to challenge SpaceX’s dominance and propel Blue Origin into the satellite launch industry.
Musk, a strong Trump supporter who invested over $250 million in his campaign, has significant influence on the administration’s space policies. Musk recently suggested skipping moon missions to focus directly on Mars, sparking industry debates about potential disruptions to NASA’s programs.
Bezos, however, advocated a dual approach. “We need to go to the moon and Mars. What we shouldn’t do is start and stop programs. Continuing with the lunar program is crucial,” he stated.
Trump’s administration is expected to prioritize Mars missions while making changes to NASA’s moon program. Bezos believes consistent progress is key to advancing space exploration.
The New Glenn rocket marks Blue Origin’s long-awaited entry into the competitive space industry, with hopes of securing a significant market share. As rivalries intensify, Bezos and Musk remain central figures shaping the future of private and public space endeavors.
Blue Origin’s progress and SpaceX’s influence on the administration highlight the evolving dynamics of the space industry under the new government.
