Jeff Bezos says first spaceflight was ‘tiny little step’ in Blue Origin’s plan to build a road to space - CNBC

Jeff Bezos said Blue Origin's first crewed spaceflight on Tuesday represented one step toward the company's mission of expanding to a point where people live and work in space.

It's the only way to build a road to space, and we need to build a road to space so that our children can build the future," Bezos told CNBC's Morgan Brennan.

Bezos emphasized that "reusable space vehicles," like New Shepard which launches and lands, are key to Blue Origin's goal.

Bezos emphasized that he now has more time to spend focused on his space venture, which he founded in 2000.

so I'm going to split my time between this and the Bezos Earth Fund, which is the climate sustainability foundation," Bezos said.
