Submission + - Secretive Blue Origin Launches New Website

Submitted by BoboB-69 on Wednesday January 03, 2007 @03:52PM

BoboB-69 writes: Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' other company, the highly secretive Blue Origin, has launched a new website. Blue Origin is focused on, "patiently and step-by-step, to lower the cost of spaceflight so that many people can afford to go and so that we humans can better continue exploring the solar system. Accomplishing this mission will take a long time, and we're working on it methodically."

They have a nice video and lots of pics of a vertical launch and land vehicle which was launched on November 13th, with commentary from Jeff Bezos.

On December 25th there will probably be a virgin birth. No, not that fantasy tale but a real, live, honest-to-goodness virgin birth! It seems that the world's largest lizard (and technically a living dinosaur) can have virgin births!

Just another reason I want to give one of those wonderful creatures a big hug.
