Jeff Bezos apparently wasn\u2019t satisfied with merely flying through space<\/a>. The world\u2019s richest person now wants to occupy it.<\/p>\n

Bezos\u2019 Blue Origin on Monday announced plans<\/a> to build a commercial space station by the end of the decade.<\/p>\n

Announcing #OrbitalReef<\/a> \u2013 a commercial space station transforming human space travel and opening access to new markets. Our team developing the premier commercial destination in low Earth orbit: @BlueOrigin<\/a>@SierraSpaceCo<\/a>@BoeingSpace<\/a>@RedwireSpace<\/a>@ASU<\/a>https:\/\/t.co\/PP4wxrfkF3<\/a>pic.twitter.com\/qJDdYg7BSv<\/a><\/p>\n

The so-called Orbital Reef will be developed in partnership with Sierra Space, a subsidiary of the defense and aerospace contractor Sierra Nevada Corporation.<\/p>\n

The two companies describe the venture<\/a> as a \u201cmixed use business park\u201d in space for both companies and tourists. The duo boldly declared that that Orbital Reef will be \u201cthe premier commercial destination in low Earth orbit.\u201d<\/p>\n

A flashy promotional video<\/a> for the projects depicts a CGI station comprised of spacious modules, large windows overlooking Earth, an exercise area, and flourishing space gardens.<\/p>\n

If the project\u2019s engineers can replicate the animation, Orbital Reef should provide a comfy space<\/a> and superb view for watching the world burn beneath you.<\/p>\n

I envision Bezos turning the station into a private fiefdom that he\u2019ll rule like an emperor. He\u2019ll control the media<\/a>, workforce<\/a>, entertainment<\/a>, and commerce<\/a> in the territory. A bit like on Earth, but even more dominant, and more exciting for Jeff cause it\u2019s in space.<\/p>\n
