Bezos plans ‘business park’ in space

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is planning a “mixed-use business park” in space.

The Blue Origin owner has announced plans to launch a commercial space station into low-Earth orbit in the latter half of the decade, to be called Orbital Reef.

Blue Origin, and its main partner on the project, Sierra Space, said it would house up to 10 people in an area of about 30,000 cubic feet.

The station would also be an ideal location for a “space hotel”, Blue Origin said, or “film-making in microgravity” or “conducting cutting-edge research”.
