Gone are the days of billionaires buying sports teams, buying newspapers and blogs still seems to be in but not quite as hot as space exploration. With SpaceX and Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin sort of seems like a "me too" venture...

Blue Origin pre-dates both SpaceX and Virgin Galactic.

Bezos founded it in 2000.

It's about time we get those cyber-punk ultra rich building space stations from where they control their vast enterprises while cheating death with the latest med-tech from Chiba's underground hospitals.

Here are the days of billionaires putting millionaires in metal capsules, then blasting them into space? ;-) I don't know whether this is a step forward, as I enjoy reading the newspaper.
