company

of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, is not content with operating commercial flights to space, but is also interested in arranging for affluent vacationers a luxurious package of flight and hotel.

In the coming years, the company plans to build a commercial space station that will provide a variety of services and needs to tourists and professionals who will leave the Earth's pleasant atmosphere in favor of a small jump off our planet.

The station, to be called Orbital Reef, is a joint venture between Blue Origin and the aerospace engineering companies Sierra Space, Redwire Space, Boeing and Genesis Engineering, and is another step in Bezos' vision where "millions of people will live and work in space for the benefit of Earth."

The station is expected to start operating by the end of the current decade and will be able to accommodate up to 10 people at a time.

Its volume, it was reported, will be almost that of the International Space Station (about 3,000 square meters), and we will be able to find separate areas for living, research and even recreation.

The cost of setting up the station was not disclosed, and when the developers were asked at the press conference held yesterday what amounts were involved, they refused to name a "specific number".

These are, of course, billions, and Bezos himself, whose fortune is estimated at $ 200 billion, has pledged to invest $ 1 billion annually in the various Blue Origin ventures.

Therefore, it should be assumed that room service prices will not be cheap either.
