SpaceX is the most well-known name in the private spaceflight industry and needs little introduction. It was founded by dotcom billionaire Elon Musk in 2002, with the goal of making humanity multi-planetary. They have repeatedly made ambitious development claims and stunned the world by delivering upon them.
2 years before that, however, in the year 2000, Jeff Bezos, one of Princeton physicist Gerard O’Neill’s ex-students, founded a private spaceflight company called Blue Origin, with the goal of enabling millions of people to live and work in space.
