I know a few people from my Purdue days working for SpaceX but my closest friends from Purdue ended up at Blue Origins. Blue Origins is a very secretive space company that was founded by Amazon's Jeff Bezos. If any of these companies can bring the price of space flight down by about a factor of 1000, I might have a chance of becoming a "space tourist".

Space 2.0
This week Bloomberg posted the video below describing the new space race -- a race not between nation states but between companies. The video features three companies: SpaceX, Boeing and Sierra Nevada. The video was excellent but I thought they could have included Blue Origins and/or Aerojet Rocketdyne.
