This article discusses a recent podcast that Jeff Bezos appeared in that focused on his leadership style and space company, Blue Origin. Bezos has made it clear that Blue Origin needs to speed things up. He has reconfigured leadership at the company and New Shepard is scheduled for its next launch as soon as December 18. Blue Origin predicts that its New Glenn rocket will launch next year with a NASA smallsat mission. New Glenn will pose a challenge to SpaceX as it will be used for cargo rather than for space tourism like New Shepard.
