We have the battle of the billionaires going on here on the Space Coast. With Space X (Elon Musk) and Boeing (United Launch Alliance) working on rockets to Mars and Richard Branson / Virgin Galactic working on space transportation it seems there is room for plenty of competition.
Add Jeff Bezos (Amazon CEO) to the mix. He announced along with Governor Rick Scott that he will be bringing 330 high paying jobs to a new 200 million dollar complex that will produce rockets on the Space Coast of Florida!
The company will be called Blue Origin and should begin sending rockets into space late this decade. They will be using the famous Launch Complex 36 that was shut down in 2005.
Bezos pointed out the great weather, amazing facilities and awesome business climate in the State of Florida as reasons he chose to build the complex here on the Space Coast.
