Grizzled TechCrunch reporter Matt Burns was on site at yesterday’s big Blue Origin reveal , but if you’re reading this right now, odds are you weren’t. It was a small gathering, and Jeff Bezos, who tends to be fairly secret for such a public billionaire, opted not to live stream the fairly intimate press conference.
The full event is now online, however. You can check that out right here:
The TLDW of all of it is that, well, Earth f*****g rules, man. It’s totally the best planet in the solar system, at least so far as sustaining life is concerned. As such, we’re going to be dependent on this little blue marble for a long while, even as human population and energy consumption push its resources to the brink.
Bezos unveiled some pretty sci-fi sounding plans for off-world industries. In the meantime, however, Blue Origin says it can help the U.S. get back to the moon, with help from its new Blue Moon lunar lander . Bezos says the company can deliver the hardware to NASA by 2024.
