E. C. Charania, Director of business development for Blue Origin, said that private aerospace company plans to complete the mission to land on the moon until 2023, which will mark a “return to the moon.” Yes, the company is Jeff Bezos really wants to send people to the moon. That is, make that 60 years ago could not even the Soviet Union. 2023 — the specific date at the moment. Last year the Washington Post wrote that the Blue Moon project, including the plans of the colonization of the moon, as well as service delivery in the manner nasonovskii called Moon, scheduled for completion in mid-2020.
For the first time ambitious plans for Blue Origin to conquer the moon became known in March 2017.
“It’s time to return America to the moon — this time to stay,” said Bezos. “A permanent lunar settlement is a difficult and worthy goal. I feel that many people will be in awe of it.”
At the same time, Blue Origin turned to NASA and the American government for help in this event and became one of the ten companies that received $ 10 million of NASA funding for exploration of the moon. Apparently, this helped the company to move the time of the conquest of Earth’s natural satellite.
“Blue Moon is on our road map, and because of our size, due to the fact that we see the [assistance] from the government, we’re making some progress at the time,” said Charania during the conference, NewSpace. “I think we are delighted to realize it is a business decision, with the support of NASA”.
Blue Origin is not the only company that is planning a return to the moon. SpaceX also is looking at the location of the staging base for flights to Mars; the development is the mission of NASA, the Chinese space Agency and Roskosmos. Everything goes to the fact that humanity will get a new chance to make a small step in the direction of the space.
Blue Origin wants to do something that not even the Soviet Union. The company has colonized the moon before 2023
